Rnvmw  or  thi:  yuar 


The  past  year^  in  social  work  has  been  a  period  of  extraordi- 
nary activity.  There  have  been  more  people  than  usual  in  need 
of  help,  and  there  has  been  greater  sympathy  with  their  troubles, 
showing  in  more  vigorous  and  more  varied  activity  and  closer 
co-operation  in  their  behalf,  with  remarkably  little  of  an  objec- 
tionable or  ill-advised  character ;  and  there  has  also  been  at  the 
same  time  an  unprecedented  interest  in  poverty,  disease,  and  crime 
as  social  problems,  and  in  the  social  conditions  which  favor  their 
persistence. 

The  Charity  Organization  Society  has  shared  in  the  general 
increase  of  work  which  has  come  on  account  of  the  contraction 
in  industry ;  it  has  tried  to  find  those  families,  naturally  so  appeal- 
ing, and  generally  believed  to  be  so  numerous,  who  need  help 
but  will  not  ask  for  it ;  it  has  made  every  effort  to  ensure  for  each 
of  the  5,773  families  in  charge  of  the  districts  during  the  year  as 
careful  Consideration  as  each  of  the  3,336  received  the  year  before, 
and  to  adapt  the  work  of  all  departments  to  the  needs  of  the  situ- 
ation ;  it  has  kept  in  close  touch  with  the  various  sources  of  in- 
formation about  labor  conditions ;  it  has  urged  on  the  city  au- 
thorities the  prosecution  of  public  works  already  determined  on 
and  on  employers  the  resumption  of  activities,  as  measures  of 
relief  for  the  situation ;  and  it  has  given  increasing  attention  to 
the  study  of  general  social  conditions  and  the  devising  and  pro- 
moting of  measures  for  their  improvement. 

V/e  are  able  to  record  that  we  have  not  been  obliged,  by  lack 
of  resources,  to  refuse  assistance  to  any  family  in  need  who  has 
come  to  our  notice.    There  is,  on  the  contrary,  evidence  in  our

-     REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


case  records  that  relief  has  been  given  more  liberally  than  in 
years  of  general  prosperity;  emergent  aid  has  been  given  more 
frequently  than  in  other  years  to  families  who  were  found,  after 
thorough  inquiry,  not  to  have  needed  it,  and  cases  were  "taken 
up"  who  under  ordinary  circumstances  might  profitably  have  been 
"left  to  their  own  resources."  The  suspension  of  activities  for 
a  week  by  the  United  Hebrew  Charities  and  certain  limitations 
which  they  found  necessary  to  observe  for  a  while  after  resuming 
work,  have  increased  the  number  of  exceptional  instances  of 
Jewish  families  in  the  care  of  the  Charity  Organization  Society. 
Repeated  offers  of  assistance  for  families  in  need,  sent  to  hospi- 
tals, dispensaries,  schools,  churches,  day  nurseries,  and  settle- 
ments, have  brought  to  the  Society  some  families,  though  fewer 
than  might  have  been  expected,  who  would  not  otherwise  have 
found  their  way. 

Our  financial  statements  show  that  the  expenses  of  the  Society 
have  materially  increased,  but  that  the  contributions  have  come 
within  four  thousand  dollars  oi  keeping  up  with  the  new  demands. 
The  increase  in  the  number  of  contributors  is  especially  gratifying, 
and  is  especially  noticeable  in  the  case  of  relief  obtained,  that  list 
being  about  five  times  as  long  as  it  was  the  year  before. 

We  record  with  sorrow  the  loss  during  the  year  of  two  dis- 
trict agents.  Miss  M.  D.  Henry,  agent  of  the  Gramercy  District 
since  1891,  and  Mrs.  E.  A.  McCutcheon,  agent  of  the  Greenwich 
District  for  the  same  long  period  of  seventeen  years,  died  within 
six  months  of  each  other, — Miss  Henry  on  January  28,  after  a 
brief  struggle  with  pneumonia,  Mrs.  McCutcheon  on  July  20, 
after  a  lingering  illness.  The  Charity  Organization  Society  has 
in  them  lost  two  loyal  and  faithful  workers,  and  the  poor  of  New 
York  have  lost  two  of  their  best  friends. 

Still  another  bereavement  has  come  in  the  death,  on  August 
28,  of  George  P.  Rowell,  a  valued  friend  and  officer  of  the 
Society  for  over  twenty  years.  Mr.  Rowell  had  served  on  two 
of  the  District  Committees,  and  on  the  Finance,  Membership,

Mendicancy,  Co-operation,  Publication,  and  Executive  Commit- 
tees, and  on  the  Central  Council,  and  had  been  a  Vice-President 
of  the  Society  for  fourteen  years.  At  a  critical  period  in  the 
history  of  the  Society's  publication  Charities,  Mr.  Rowell's 
financial  help  ensured  its  existence;  and  in  many  other  ways  he 
helped  make  our  history.  The  problems  of  the  Society  interested 
him  and  brought  out  his  kindly  humor  and  practical  sympathy 
and  stores  of  knowledge.  It  is  with  grateful  appreciation  of  his 
services  that  he  will  be  remembered. 

The  year  has  been  a  hard  one  for  the  poor  in  New  York  City, 
as  it  has  been  also  for  many  of  the  well-to-do.  A  much  larger 
number  of  families  than  in  any  of  the  ten  or  twelve  years  pre- 
ceding have  had  to  ask  for  help ;  many  others  have  been  able  to 
maintain  independence  only  by  unwonted  economies,  amounting 
not  infrequently,  we  must  believe,  to  deprivation.  How  much 
actual  suffering  there  has  been  this  year,  how  much  more  than 
last  year,  no  one  knows,  nor  even  how  much  has  come  to  the 
notice  of  public  and  private  charities  and  been  relieved.  Still  less 
is  it  possible  to  estimate  how  many  people  have  been  living  in 
poverty,  in  the  sense  of  having  had  less  food  and  fuel  and 
clothi»g  and  other  necessities  than  they  required  to  maintain 
their  efficiency;  and  still  less,  how  many  of  these  have  been  in 
poverty  on  account  of  the  conditions  of  the  labor  market. 

What  we  do  know,  from  our  own  experience,  is  that  since 
last  October  our  districts  have  had  seventy-three  per  cent 
more  families  in  care  than  they  had  the  year  before ;  that  whereas 
in  recent  years  an  able-bodied  man  has  been  almost  an  unknown 
character  among  our  district  families,  he  has  this  year  been  an 
increasingly  conspicuous  and  increasingly  perplexing  factor,  pres- 
ent in  a  fourth  or  a  fifth  of  the  families ;  that  in  other  families 
the  trouble  has  been  that  boys  and  girls  have  lost  their  work  in 
factories ;  that  homeless  men  have  come  to  the  Joint  Application 
Bureau  in  three  and  four  and  five  times  their  usual  numbers; 
that  the  Wood  Yard  has  given  employment  to  three  and  four  and 


12 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


five  times  as  many  men  during-  the  winter  months  as  it  did  the 
year  before ;  that  able-bodied  men  and  women  have  been  applying 
at  the  Employment  Bureau  for  the  Handicapped ;  that  the  recep- 
tion agent  has  had  a  long  line  of  callers  who  did  not  want  relief, 
but  information  as  to  where  to  find  work,  or  how  to  collect  wages 
due  them,  or  how  to  get  a  small  loan ;  and  that  the  deposits  in 
the  Penny  Provident  Fund  have  been  smaller  and  the  withdrawals 
heavier  in  proportion,  especially  at  the  settlement  stations. 

We  know,  furthermore,  from  our  conferences  and  correspond- 
ence and  observation,  that  other  charitable  societies  have  felt  a 
similar  increase  in  the  demands  on  them ;  that  the  Municipal 
Lodging  "House  has  on  many  nights  been  unable  to  accommodate 
all  its  applicants ;  that  many  small  deposits  have  been  withdrawn 
gradually  from  the  savings  banks  until  accounts  were  exhausted ; 
that  immigration  fell  off  in  the  winter  months  while  eastern  bound 
steamers  carried  back  to  Europe  unprecedented  numbers  of  re- 
cent immigrants ;  that  the  Provident  Loan  Society  has  made 
many  thousands  of  small  loans,  which  indicated  stress  among 
wage-earners,  and  that  the  percentage  of  loans  unpaid  was  con- 
siderably larger  than  for  several  years  past ;  that  a  visitor  going 
from  house  to  house  among  families  who  had  no  connection 
with  relief  agencies  found  women  and  children  sitting  in  rooms 
without  a  fire ;  that  other  visitors,  in  various  parts  of  the  city, 
commonly  found  the  man  of  the  family  at  home  in  the  day-time. 

Farther  than  this,  however,  it  is  difficult  to  go.  That  there 
has  been  any  considerable  amount  of  unrelieved  suffering  there 
is  no  reason  to  believe.  It  may  be  possible  that,  as  one  entertain- 
ing magazine  writer  has  whimsically  complained,  charity  has  con- 
fined its  ministrations  this  year  to  the  amateurs  in  dependence  and 
has  pitilessly  neglected  the  ''professionals"  who  in  other  years 
live  off  the  bread  lines  and  missions  and  benevolent  pedestrians. 
If  that  is  true,  so  much  the  better  for  all  concerned,  especially 
for  the  neglected  professionals.  From  the  data  we  have  had  on 
which  to  base  an  opinion,  however,  we  should  judge  that  the 
"professionals"  have  fared  rather  better  than  in  other  recent 


REVIEW  OF  THE  YEAR 


13 


years,  and  that  many  of  the  unemployed  who  have  been  enjoying 
the  pubHc's  sympathy  have  been  of  the  class  of  professional  men- 
dicants, the  nucleus  in  New  York  augmented  by  strangers  from 
all  parts  of  the  country.  The  Bread  Lines  have  been  much  longer 
than  usual,  but  they  have  been  composed  of  much  the  same  type 
of  individual  as  has  been  long  identified  with  them.  That  street 
begging  has  found  too  ready  response  in  careless  generosity 
has  been  clear  in  the  story  of  many  a  homeless  man  at  the  Joint 
Application  Bureau  who  has  said  that  he  ''met  a  friend"  who 
helped  him  out,  and  admitted  on  questioning  that  the  "friend" 
was  a  stranger  whom  he  had  accosted  in  the  street. 

From  time  to  time  through  the  winter  conferences  were  held 
by  representatives  of  organizations  which  exist  for  the  benefit  of 
the  poor  of  New  York,  to  discuss  the  needs  of  the  situation,  and 
in  January  the  Charity  Organization  Society,  the  Association  for 
Improving  the  Condition  of  the  Poor,  and  the  United  Hebrew 
Charities  engaged  a  special  agent,  Mr.  Frank  J.  Warne,  to  make 
a  study  of  the  extent  and  character  of  the  unemployment  in  the 
city.  Mr.  Warne's  report  was  printed  in  Charities  and  The 
Commons  for  February  8. 

At  no  time  has  it  seemed  advisable  to  recommend  artificial 
employment  on  a  large  scale  or  to  establish  extraordinary  relief 
agencies,  because  conditions  have  at  no  time  been  so  bad  as  to 
justify  resorting  to  measures  which  are  themselves  apt  to  work 
positive  injury. 

There  has  been  little  of  the  dramatic  or  sensational  in  the 
situation,  either  in  the  extent  of  sufifering  or  in  attempts  to  relieve 
it.  The  newspapers  have  preserved  a  cheerful  and  reasonable 
attitude.  They  have  contained  fewer  pathetic  fictions  of  starving 
widows  and  children  than  there  have  sometimes  been  in  pros- 
perous years.  As  for  demonstrations  of  the  unemployed,  there 
have  been  practically  none.  The  meeting  advertised  as  such,  in 
Union  Square  on  March  28,  was  in  reality  called  by  some  radical 
agitators  and  was  attended  chiefly  by  curious  idlers  and  passers-by 
who  were  to  all  appearance  comfortably  clothed  and  fed.  The 


14 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


attention  it  attracted  was  due  to  police  intervention  and  the 
throwing  of  a  bomb  by  a  Russian  tailor  who  said  that  he  wanted 
to  blow  up  the  police,  not  that  he  wanted  work. 

In  June  there  was  a  recrudescence  of  popular  excitement  over 
underfed  school  children  as  a  distinct  relief  problem.  The  estab- 
lished relief  agencies  of  the  city  renewed  their  standing  offers  to 
the  Board  of  Education  to  provide  for  the  needs  of  any  family 
referred  to  them  by  a  school  teacher  or  principal.  This  did  not 
seem  adequate  to  all  who  had  the  welfare  of  school  children  at 
heart,  and  a  Children's  Relief  Society  was  formed,  which  secured 
contributions  to  the  amount  of  $3,500,  and  for  the  last  two  or 
three  weeks  of  the  school  year  provided  luncheon  on  school  days 
for  two  or  three  hundred  children  in  two  school  districts  on  the 
lower  East  Side.  On  holidays  and  through  the  summer  vacation 
this  relief  was  lacking  and  we  have  not  learned  that  it  has  been 
renewed  with  the  reopening  of  school  this  fall. 

The  most  significant  demonstration  of  the  year  on  the  part 
of  the  poor  was  the  organization  of  the  tenants  of  the  lower 
East  Side  in  a  strike  for  a  reduction  in  the  high  tenement  rents, 
which  have  been  an  increasingly  serious  burden  in  the  last  two  or 
three  years.  There  were  smaller  sympathetic  movements  in  the 
upper  East  and  upper  West  sides  of  Manhattan,  and  in  Williams- 
burg. The  landlords  organized  in  their  turn  and  threatened  hun- 
dreds of  evictions,  though  few  were  executed.  It  came  to  an 
end  quietly  after  four  or  five  weeks — there  had  been  practically 
no  violence — without  much  affecting  existing  rents,  but  it 
served  the  purpose  of  ventilating  the  "lessee  system"  and  of 
warning  speculative  tenement  buyers  ''that  the  East  Side  has 
reached  its  limit  of  rent  paying  ability." 

The  year  has  brought  a  number  of  additions  to  the  philan- 
thropic resources  of  the  city.  A  work-room  for  the  temporary 
employment  of  unskilled  women,  opened  on  February  24  by 
the  Manhattan  Trade  School  and  the  Alliance  Employment 
Bureau,  will,  it  is  hoped,  be  permanent.  Another  work-room 
for  women,  but  without  the  educational  character  which  dis-

tinguishes  this  one,  has  been  conducted  by  the  Harlem  Rehef 
Society.  A  third  Mills  Hotel,  at  Seventh  Avenue  and  36th 
Street,  was  opened  in  the  early  winter.  Growing-  out  of  the 
work  of  Miss  Maude  E.  Miner,  probation  officer  in  the  night 
court,  a  small  temporary  home  for  vvromen  released  on  proba- 
tion has  been  established  at  165  West  Tenth  Street  by  a  society 
which  has  taken  the  name  of  the  New  York  Probation  Associa- 
tion. A  training-school  for  attendants  in  institutions  for 
sick  and  defective  children  has  been  established  by  the 
Department  of  Public  Charities  on  Randall's  Island.  The 
Ethical-Social  League  has  been  formed  as  a  means  of  inter- 
course among  ''the  forces  that  make  for  righteousness  in 
this  community,"  and  has  held  several  conferences.  A  new 
day  nursery  was  opened  in  the  Bronx  in  March.  Facilities 
for  providing  good  and  clean  milk  for  tenement  house  babies 
have  been  increased  by  the  seven  depots  of  the  New  York 
Milk  Committee  of  the  Association  for  Improving  the  Condi- 
tion of  the  Poor.  By  the  same  Association  the  Caroline  Rest 
Country  Club  for  Social  Workers,  the  gift  of  George  H.  F. 
Schrader,  was  opened  in  July  at  Hartsdale,  New  York.  Hud- 
son Guild  has  moved  into  a  new  house  in  West  Twenty- 
Seventh  Stfeet.  A  Bureau  of  School  Hygiene  has  been  estab- 
lished in  the  Health  Department. 

The  most  pressing  needs  in  the  charitable  resources  of  the 
city  at  present  are  institutions  for  the  care  of  consumptives 
in  all  stages  of  the  disease,  homes  for  the  aged,  temporary 
homes  for  respectable  women  and  girls.  The  diet  kitchens  and 
the  day  nurseries  are  finding  themselves  hard  pressed  to  meet  the 
demands  on  their  resources. 

There  has  been  a  complete  change  in  the  situation  with 
regard  to  tuberculosis  in  the  city  and  state  in  the  last  year. 
Whereas  a  year  ago  the  institutions  for  early  cases,  in  spite 
of  their  demonstrable  inadequacy  as  compared  with  the  num- 
ber of  early  cases  in  the  state,  could  not  be  kept  full,  it  is 
now  difficult  to  find  room  for  a  patient  in  any  of  them.  This

change  must  be  attributed,  as  far  as  New  York  City  is  con- 
cerned, to  the  intelligent  work  of  the  Association  for  Tuber- 
culosis Clinics,  which  is  an  out-grow^th  from  the  work  of  this 
Society's  Committee  on  the  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis  in  its 
administration  of  the  $20,000  relief  fund  for  consumptives, 
and  to  the  educational  work  that  has  been  carried  on  by  the 
Committee,  the  Board  of  Health,  and  other  agencies  which 
have  been  patiently  at  work  for  several  years.  It  is  a  gratify- 
ing evidence  of  effective  work,  while  it  means  a  temporary 
embarrassment  in  the  care  of  tuberculous  patients,  and  creates 
an  urgent  need  for  additional  provision  to  meet  the  demand 
which  the  educational  work  has  created.  Additional  pro- 
vision for  advanced  cases  is  even  more  urgent,  as  the  over- 
crowded condition  of  the  Metropolitan  Infirmary  last  winter 
clearly  indicated. 

There  were  two  important  events  in  New  York  City  dur- 
ing the  year  wdiich  were  quite  outside  any  routine.  The 
Charity  Organization  Society  celebrated  its  twenty-fifth  an- 
niversary by  holding,  in  November,  a  Conference  on  the  Bet- 
terment of  Living  Conditions;  and  in  March  an  Exhibit  of 
Congestion  of  Population,  prepared  by  the  Committee  on  Con- 
gestion, was  shown  for  three  weeks  at  the  IMuseum  of  Natural 
History. 

The  object  of  the  Congestion  Exhibit  was  "to  make  clear 
the  conditions,  causes  and  evils  of  the  massing  of  people  in 
New  York,  and  in  limited  areas;  the  present  methods  of 
dealing  with  the  problems  involved;  and  the  methods,  legis- 
lative and  others,  which  should  be  adopted  to  remedy  such 
congestion."  Maps,  diagrams,  photographs,  models,  and 
plain  statistics  were  massed  together  to  depict  the  "condi- 
tions", the  "causes",  and  the  "cures".  It  attracted  many 
visitors,  and  many  notable  addresses  were  made  at  the  public 
meetings  held  in  connection  with  it.  Later  in  the  spring  it 
was  moved  to  Brooklyn. 

The  Conference  on  the  Betterment  of  Living  Conditions 


REVIEW  OF  THE  YEAR

began  with  an  evening  meeting  at  Carnegie  Hall,  attended 
by  three  thousand  friends  of  the  Society,  at  which  there  were 
addresses  by  the  president  and  the  general  secretary  of  the 
Charity  Organization  Society,  Governor  Hughes  and  Mayor 
McClellan,  Thomas  M.  Mulry,  R.  Fulton  Cutting  and  Jacob 
H.  Schiff,  representing  the  Society  of  St.  Vincent  de  Paul, 
the  Association  for  Improving  the  Condition  of  the  Poor, 
and  the  United  Hebrew  Charities,  and  Dr.  Emil  Muenster- 
berg,  president  of  the  Department  of  Public  Charities  of 
Berlin,  who  had  crossed  the  ocean  to  bring  a  greeting  from 
the  charitable  societies  of  Germany. 

Four  sessions  were  held  in  the  Assembly  Hall  of  the 
United  Charities  Building,  in  the  mornings  and  evenings  of 
the  next  two  days.    The  general  topics  of  discussion  were: 

I  Changes  in  social  conditions  in  New  York  in  twenty- 
five  years. 

2.  Development,  scope  and  outlook  of  the  charity  organi- 
zation movement. 

3.  The  social  education  of  the  community:  how  to  increase 
the  knowledge  of  sound  principles  and  good  methods  in  social 
work. 

4.  Charity  organization  extension. 

Among  those  who  took  part  in  the  discussions,  besides  the 
officers  of  the  Society,  were:  Felix  M.  Adier,  Frederic  Almy, 
Ernest  P.  Bicknell,  David  Blaustein,  Jeffrey  R.  Brackett,  H.  S. 
Braucher,  Herbert  S.  Brown,  Robert  W.  Bruere,  Allen  T.  Burns,

l8  REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 

Many  other  persons  well  known  in  the  National  Confer- 
ence were  present  from  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  Boston,  Chi- 
cago and  near-by  towns,  as  well  as  from  New  York.  Some 
fifty  charity  organization  societies  were  represented. 

The  Conference  was  fundamentally  a  gathering  of  the 
leaders  in  charity  organization  work,  to  review  what  has  been 
accomplished,  to  face  what  remains  to  be  done,  and  to  find 
new  courage  and  wisdom  and  vigor  for  doing  it.  It  was  in 
no  sense  a  private  celebration,  an  occasion  for  reciting  with 
pride  what  the  New  York  Charity  Organization  Society  had 
done  in  its  twenty-five  years.  The  reviews  of  things  done 
were  just  so  many  measurements  to  show  how  much  work 
there  is  further  to  be  done — cubic  measure,  perhaps,  where 
accomplishment  thus  far  has  been  linear, — sounding  new 
depths  of  need  and  distress,  enlisting  new  breadths  of 
democratic  co-operation,  setting  new  heights  of  practical 
achievement  ahead. 

Throughout  the  country,  as  in  New  York,  there  has  been 
an  extraordinary  number  of  important  events,  and  a  back- 
ground of  interest  in  social  problems  which  has  never  before 
been  so  general,  so  lively  and  so  well-informed.  Industrial 
education,  the  standard  of  living,  the  industrial  exploitation 
of  women,  rural  conditions,  playgrounds,  and  vagrancy,  have 
been  among  the  newer  popular  topics;  housing  has  kept  its 
permanent  interest;  there  has  been  a  much  needed  revival  of 
concern  about  the  conditions  in  county  jails ;  and  perhaps  the 
strongest  of  all,  underlying  or  involved  in  many  of  the  others, 
has  been  health,  not  only  in  the  sense  of  the  prevention  of 
disease,  but  also  as  a  positive  ideal  of  physical  well-being. 

This  atmosphere  of  general  interest  in  social  problems  is 
felt  in  President's  and  governors'  messages,  legislative  dis- 
cussions, party  platforms,  campaign  speeches,  news  columns 
and  editorials,  magazine  articles,  and  the  deliberations  of 
bodies  organized  primarily  for  quite  a  different  purpose.  A 
few  of  the  crystallizations  from  it  which  may  be  mentioned 


REVIEW  OF  THE  YEAR

are  the  non-partisan  wave  of  prohibition  legislation  over  the 
South ;  the  frank  discussion  by  the  Brewers'  Association  "of 
the  public  issues  involved  in  the  regulation  of  the  saloon  and 
the  administration  of  the  excise  laws" ;  the  formation  of  de- 
partments of  social  service  in  several  of  the  denominational 
organizations  of  the  churches  and  the  extension  of  industrial 
work  by  the  Christian  Associations ;  the  recognition  in  many 
hospitals  of  the  social  aspects  of  medical  work;  the  institution 
in  Massachusetts  of  savings  bank  insurance. 

In  our  own  state  race-track  gambling  has  been  abolished, 
and  two  important  legislative  commissions  have  been  created, 
one  to  investigate  the  methods  of  procedure  in  the  inferior 
criminal  courts  of  New  York,  Rochester,  and  Buffalo,  the 
other  to  study  the  subject  of  immigration  as  far  as  it  is 
a  matter  for  state  rather  than  national  concern.  The  State 
Conference  Committee  on  the  standard  of  living  has  been 
finishing  its  work.  The  State  Charities  Aid  Association,  in 
co-operation  with  the  State  Board  of  Health,  has  instituted 
a  vigorous  tuberculosis  campaign  throughout  the  state  out- 
side of  New  York  City,  of  which  results  have  already  been 
apparent. 

In  the  federal  government  Congress  has  passed  a  new 
Employers'  Liability  Law,  to  take  the  place  of  the  1906  meas- 
ure which  was  found  unconstitutional ;  the  Supreme  Court, 
in  its  decision  in  the  case  of  Curt  Muller  vs.  the  State  of  Ore- 
gon, has  upheld  legislative  regulation  of  women's  work ;  the 
Department  of  Commerce  and  Labor  has  been  prosecuting 
its  inquiry  into  the  work  of  women  and  children,  and  the  Im- 
migration Commission  has  been  carrying  on  the  investigation 
for  which  it  was  appointed ;  the  Immigration  Bureau  has 
taken  advantage  of  the  authorization,  in  the  law  of  February 
20,  1907,  to  establish  a  Division  of  Information,  to  open  em- 
ployment bureaus  for  immigrants  in  New  York  and  Balti- 
more; the  White  House  conference  of  state  governors  re- 
sulted in  the  appointment  by  the  President  of  a  commission

on  the  Conservation  of  National  Resources,  which  would  not 
have  been  entirely  outside  our  field  even  if  the  subject  of 
human  vitality  had  not  been  added  for  consideration  to 
waters,  forests,  lands,  and  minerals ;  and  the  President's  com- 
mission on  the  needs  of  rural  communities  is  a  direct  re-in- 
forcement  of  the  movement  for  the  relief  of  the  congestion  of 
population  in  cities. 

Of  national  importance,  also,  is  the  organization  of  a  de- 
partment of  emergency  relief  in  the  American  National  Red 
Cross,  under  the  direction  of  Ernest  P.  Bicknell,  president  of 
the  1909  Conference  of  Charities  and  Correction,  on  the  gen- 
eral plan  outlined  by  Mr.  Bicknell  a  year  ago  in  the  New 
York  Conference  on  the  Betterment  of  Living  Conditions. 
The  fire  in  Chelsea,  Massachusetts,  the  mine  disasters  in 
West  Virginia,  Pennsylvania  and  Alabama,  tornadoes  and 
floods  in  the  Gulf  states,  and  forest  fires  in  Minnesota  have 
occurred  within  the  last  year  to  point  the  need  of  some  pro- 
vision for  dealing  with  distress  caused  by  unforeseen  public 
calamities.  Within  the  year,  also,  the  San  Francisco  relief 
work  has  been  brought  to  an  end,  and  a  critical  study  is  in 
progress  of  the  methods  and  results  of  that  stupendous  piece 
of  emergency  relief. 

The  ''nationalization"  of  social  movements  is  going  on 
rapidly.  It  is  at  once  an  evidence  of  growth  and  an  aid  to 
effective  work.  Several  new  national  organizations  have  re- 
cently been  added  to  the  National  Child  Labor  Committee 
and  the  National  Association  for  the  Study  and  Prevention 
of  Tuberculosis,  which  date  back  to  1904,  and  during  the  past 
year  the  National  Society  for  the  Promotion  of  Industrial 
Education,  the  Playground  Association  of  America,  and  the 
American  Association  for  Labor  Legislation  have  taken  their 
places  by  the  side  of  the  older  bodies,  with  a  central  office, 
an  executive  staff,  plans  for  propaganda,  and  an  annual  meet- 
ing of  technical  and  popular  interest.  The  charity  organiza- 
tion movement,  in  the  Field  Department  of  Charities  Publication

Committee,  has  become  definitely  organized  on  a  national  basis. 

This  development  of  social  movements  for  the  improve- 
ment of  conditions  is  one  of  the  striking  characteristics  of  the 
present  moment  in  social  work.  Perhaps  even  more  striking 
is  the  desire  for  accurate  information  about  conditions  which 
is  expressed  in  the  many  investigations  that  are  going  on 
under  both  governmental  and  private  auspices,  some  of  them 
more  zealous  than  wise,  but  others  well-planned  and  of  the 
most  vital  importance.  The  Russell  Sage  Foundation,  which 
is  an  evidence  of  this  desire  quite  as  much  as  a  stimulant  to  it, 
has  finished  an  experimental  eighteen  months.  Some  of  the 
more  important  inquiries  which  have  been  furthered  or  made  pos- 
sible by  its  appropriations  are  the  Pittsburgh  Survey,  the  study 
of  juvenile  delinquency,  the  salary  loan  business,  and  other  rc 
search  by  fellows  in  the  four  professional  training  schools  for 
social  workers,  the  typhoid  fever  investigation  in  Pittsburgh,  the 
study  of  the  San  Francisco  relief  work,  of  working  men's  insur- 
ance, and  of  the  placing  out  of  children. 

The  International  Congress  on  Tuberculosis,  which  con- 
vened in  Washington  on  September  28,  with  delegations  from 
thirty-three  nations,  was  the  most  notable  rally  that  has  yet 
been  seen  of  the  social  forces  which  are  working,  independ- 
ently 0/  in  concerted  action,  for  the  diminution  of  the  most 
destructive  disease  in  the  modern  civilized  world.  Two  of 
the  seven  sections  in  which  the  Congress  was  organized  were 
concerned  exclusively  with  the  social  aspects  of  the  problem: 
Section  VI,  on  governmental  control;  and  Section  V,  entitled 
Hygienic,  Social,  Industrial,  and  Economic  Aspects,  of  which 
the  general  secretary  of  this  Society  was  president.  Charities 
AND  The  Commons  for  November  7,  1908,  is  devoted  to  a  re- 
view of  the  Congress  from  the  social  worker's  point  of  view.

At  a  discussion  on  the  Old  Age  Pension  bill  in  London

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


every  one  was  evidently  a  lost  ideal  in  England.  In  the 
United  States  it  is  an  ideal  that  is  constantly  gaining  vigor. 
We  are  not  developing  a  "pauper  class."  A  ''hard  year," 
such  as  we  have  just  finished,  makes  us  realize  that  unem- 
ployment, in  the  sense  of  lack  of  work  for  men  able  and  will- 
ing to  work,  is  not,  in  our  country,  a  large  permanent  prob- 
lem, but  confronts  us  only  temporarily,  at  long  intervals; 
and  furthermore,  and  most  encouraging  of  all,  the  temporary 
increase  in  dependence  has  not  interfered  with  the  progress 
of  movements  for  the  general  improvement  of  social  condi- 
tions. The  individual  families  in  need  have  not  been  neg- 
lected, but  there  has  been  time  and  thought  and  money  also 
for  the  work  which  will  keep  down  the  numbers  of  families 
who  will  need  help  in  future  years.  The  increased  effective- 
ness of  the  organized  movements  for  a  better  distribution  of 
population ;  for  abolishing  premature  and  unsuitable  employ- 
ment for  women  and  children;  for  preventing  preventable 
disease  and  accidents ;  for  ensuring  decent  and  sanitary  dwell- 
ings, and  spaces  for  play  and  recreation;  for  protecting  all 
consumers  against  impurities  and  adulterations  in  food  and 
drugs ;  for  keeping  families  together ;  for  discrimination  in 
relief ;  for  the  establishment  of  new  charity  organization 
societies  and  the  renascence  of  existing  ones  which  have  lost 
their  original  spirit ;  for  providing  a  useful  and  adequate  edu- 
cation for  all  children — this  is  the  most  hopeful  feature  of 
the  year's  work.  And  this,  together  with  the  increased 
knowledge  of  social  conditions,  and  the  increased  enthusiasm 
for  social  service,  which  have  also  characterized  the  year,  is 
the  best  guarantee  that  we  shall  not  find  it  necessary  to  pro- 
vide a  government  pension  for  all  our  old  men  and  women, 
and  that  we  may  work,  with  increasing  confidence  of  success, 
towards  the  ideal,  for  every  man  and  woman  of  normal  health 
and  ability,  of  "an  independent  life  from  start  to  finish." 


GENERAL  WORK 
THE   JOINT   APPLICATION  BUREAU^ 

The  number  of  calls  from  applicants  in  the  Joint  Applica- 
tion Bureau  registers  roughly  the  fluctuations  in  the  relief-seek- 
ing population  of  the  city.  Diagram  i  represents  the  calls 
received  in  each  month  of  the  year.  The  number  rose  rapidly 
until  March ;  there  was  a  noticeable  falling  oflf  in  April  and 
May,  followed  by  a  remarkable  increase  in  June,  July  and 
August,  not  due  altogether  to  the  applications  for  fresh-air 
outings  at  Sea  Breeze,  (which  always  swell  the  number  in 
summer,  without  indicating  an  increase  in  need)  ;  and  again 
a  noticeable  drop  in  September,  which  again  was  not  due  wholly 
to  the  cessation  of  Sea  Breeze  applications.  The  increase,  at 
both  the  periods  when  it  occurred,  was  due  more  to  families 
than  to  homeless  men  and  women.  In  June,  for  example,  the 
calls  from  homeless  applicants  were  fewer  than  in  May,  but 
the  calls  frcfm  resident  cases  increased  so  that  there  was  an  in- 
crease in  the  total  number  of  calls  from  applicants  for  relief. 

Invitations  to  call  at  the  Bureau  were  issued  lavishly,  as 
in  previous  years:  42,000  cards  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
patrolmen  of  Alanhattan  and  Bronx;  and  5,300  individual 
invitations  to  men  in  the  Bread  Lines.  Only  136  of  the  Bread 
Line  men  called  at  all,  and  most  of  these  declined  work,  re- 
fused to  give  any  information,  gave  false  addresses,  or  failed 
to  return  to  the  office.  The  experience  indicated  that  not 
many  men  looking  for  work  were  in  the  Bread  Lines  and 
confirms  the  conviction  expressed  in  Charities,  that  the  only 
way  to  stop  the  Bread  Line  is  to  stop  the  Bread.

The  work  for  individual  homeless  men  and  women  has 
been,  this  year  as  always,  the  primary  occupation  of  the  Joint 
Application  Bureau,  and  has  been  as  varied,  as  picturesque, 
and  as  profitable  as  it  always  is.  Ingenuity  in  this  work  may

Yard  found  it  necessary  to  place  on  the  number  of  homeless 
men,  on  account  of  the  pressure  of  applications  from  men 
with  families. 

In  addition  to  its  case-work  the  Bureau  undertook  several 
related  tasks.  Early  in  the  year  the  Department  of  Public 
Charities  offered  to  furnish  transportation  home  to  strangers 
in  the  city  who  had  good  standing  in  their  home  communities, 
but  no  means  of  getting  back.  For  three  months,  therefore, 
an  agent  under  the  direction  of  the  Bureau,  with  the  co-opera- 
tion of  the  Department,  interviewed  non-resident  men  and 
women  at  the  Municipal  Lodging  House.  Out  of  nearly  1,200 
individuals  with  whom  interviews  were  had  there  were  only 
six  who  could  meet  the  Department's  requirements.  For 
seventeen  others  the  Bureau  found  relatives  or  friends  willing 
to  furnish  them  with  transportation,  and  for  two  others  who 
were  insane  proper  institutional  care  was  secured.  Many  of 
these  men  declined  to  give  references,  and  most  of  the  letters 
which  were  written  to  friends  and  relatives  brought  replies 
similar  to  this  one  from  a  sister  in  New  England 

"In  reply  to  your  letter  of  the  8th  inst.  I  will  say  I  have  a 
brother  by  said  name.  Also  I  wish  to  say  that  any  man  who 
has  no  one  to  look  after  but  himself  and  can't  do  that,  need 
not  look  tS  me  for  help.  *  *  *  j  have  taken  him  in  enough 
and  have  done  enough  for  him.  *  *  *  He  is  in  this  posi- 
tion only  through  drinking  and  laziness.  It  may  seem  strange 
to  you  that  I  refuse  him  help,  but  after  having  had  a  large 
family  myself  and  having  taken  care  of  my  brother  in  all 
times  of  need,  I  should  think  now  that  I  have  done  enough 
for  him.  He  ought  to  be  ashamed  of  himself  to  get  down 
to  want  when  he  has  good  health  and  no  one  to  care  for  but 
himself.    *    *    ^    If  he  ever  finds  money  enough  to  come 

to    he  need  not  come  to  my  house.    He  perhaps  has 

told  you  a  pitiful  story,  but  I  am  afraid  that  if  he  looked  for 
work  he  could  find  it." 

The  national  discussion  of  vagrancy  which  has  been  going 
on  during  the  last  year  has  been  largely  a  product  of  the  work 
of  the  Joint  Application  Bureau  and  the  press  service  of

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


Charities  Publication  Committee.  Following  up  its  earlier 
work  the  Committee  on  Joint  Application  Bureau  in  Decem- 
ber, 1907,  appointed  a  sub-committee  to  draft  a  bill  for  the 
establishment  of  a  labor  colony  for  vagrants.  The  bill  was 
drafted  and  will  be  introduced  into  the  Legislature  of  1909. 

On  June  i  letters  were  sent  out  to  three  hundred  editors 
of  country  papers  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  city  asking 
their  co-operation  in  placing  idle  men  of  New  York  at  work 
on  the  farms.  By  this  means  work  was  secured  for  75  men. 
Transportation  thither  was  provided  for  66,  at  a  cost  of 
$212.35,  of  which  $110.76  (52  per  cent)  has  been  refunded.^ 
One  man  was  discharged,  eight  left  their  work  without  cause, 
two  stole  money  from  their  employers,  one  was  drunk  at  the 
time  he  should  have  started,  but  satisfactory  reports  have 
been  received  from  39,  and  38  have  paid  back  the  money  ad- 
vanced them  for  railroad  fares.  The  Committee  feels  that 
the  venture  is  worth  repeating  next  year,  and  that  by  be- 
ginning in  the  Spring  larger  results  may  be  secured. 

THE    REGISTRATION  BUREAU 

There  are  now  on  file  in  the  Registration  Bureau  about 
107,500  case  records.  The  number  of  new  cases  recorded  during 
the  year  1907-08  was  17,562,  an  increase  of  45  per  cent  over  the 
preceding  year. 

The  curve  for  the  year  shows  much  the  same  fluctuations 
as  are  seen  in  the  Joint  Application  Bureau:  an  increase 
each  month  until  March,  a  drop  in  April  and  May,  a  sudden 
increase  in  June.  The  encouraging  decline  at  the  end  of 
the  year,  not  especially  noticeable  in  the  Joint  Application 
Bureau  until  September,  began  in  the  Registration  Bureau 
in  July.

THE   INVESTIGATION  BUREAU 

The  function  of  the  Investigation  Bureau  varies  from  year 
to  year  more  than  that  of  any  other  part  of  the  Society's 
work,  so  that  comparative  figures  can  be  used  only  sparingly. 
The  volume  of  its  work  was  decreased  in  1906-07  by  the  dis- 
continuance of  the  practice  of  making  preliminary  investiga- 
tions for  the  Districts ;  during  the  year  1907-08  it  was  further 
reduced  by  the  discontinuance  in  April  of  investigations  for 
hospitals  and  dispensaries  to  determine  whether  patients  are 
financially  in  a  position  to  pay  for  the  services  of  a  private 
physician. 

This  service  was  discontinued  because  it  has  been  found 
that  the  advantage  to  the  community  was  not  at  all  com- 
mensurate with  the  cost  involved.  Fifty  hospitals  and  dis- 
pensaries were  in  the  habit  of  making  such  inquiries.  Their 
requests  inevitably  came  in  with  no  regularity  so  that  it  was 
not  always  possible  to  reply  promptly,  without  keeping  a 
stafif  of  visitors  large  enough  to  deal  immediately  with  the 
maximum  number  of  inquiries  which  might  be  received.  It 
was  our  experience  that  such  inquiries  were  made  only  in  re- 
gard to  patients  who  were  apparently  able  to  pay  for  treat- 
ment and  consequently  we  rarely  found  among  them  any  one 
who  needed  assistance.  The  unusual  pressure  last  winter 
in  behalf  of  families  who  needed  help  emphasized  the  un- 
satisfactory aspects  of  this  part  of  our  work  and  led  to  the 
decision  that  it  should  be  discontinued.  Arrangements  were 
made  with  a  few  hospitals  to  continue  the  service  on  payment 
of  a  nominal  fee  for  such  investigation.  It  was  explained  to 
all  concerned  that  the  action  applied  only  to  cases  in  which 
the  institution's  sole  interest  was  to  learn  of  the  financial 
standing  of  the  family,  and  that  the  Society  stood  ready,  as 
in  the  past,  to  visit  and  assist  any  family  apparently  in  need 
who  came  to  the  attention  of  a  hospital  or  dispensary. 

The  total  number  of  investigations  of  all  kinds  made 
by  the  Bureau  during  the  year  was  3,444. 


GENERAL  WORK 


29 


Since  February  the  arrangements  for  reduced  rate  tickets 
for  persons  in  the  care  of  the  Districts  have  been  made  by 
the  Investigation  Bureau.  During  this  period  persons  have 
been  sent  to  every  European  country  except  Greece  and 
Turkey  and  to  many  cities  in  the  south  and  west  of  the 
United  States,  as  well  as  to  nearer  places. 

The  main  work  of  the  Bureau  from  day  to  day  consists  in 
making  investigations  for  business  houses,  benevolent  indi- 
viduals, day  nurseries,  and  societies  in  other  cities.  On  Sep- 
tember 30,  for  example,  out  of  the  108  cases  in  hand  on  that 
day,  72  were  of  this  kind.  Requests  from  societies  in  other 
cities  have  been  increasing  rapidly :  54  were  received  during 
the  month  of  September  alone.  They  involve  a  wide  range 
of  subject — tracing  deserting  husbands,  finding  girls  who  have 
run  away  from  Rescue  Homes,  persuading  residents  of  New 
York  to  care  for  destitute  kinsmen,  and  in  one  case  looking 
up  the  eligibility  of  a  young  man  who  wished  to  marry  a 
girl  in  an  institution  in  another  state. 

The  other  conspicuous  type  among  the  cases  on  hand  on 
any  day  is  the  outstanding  loan.  Among  the  108  cases  in 
charge  on  September  30  there  were  21  of  these.  The  fifteen 
cases  not  accounted  for  among  the  ''inquiries  only"  or  the 
loan  cases,  were  persons  for  whom  transportation  was  being 
arranged  or  entry  into  a  sanatorium  or  convalescent  home, 
or  for  whom  board  was  being  paid  for  care  in  a  Home  or  hos- 
pital or  in  the  country. 

THE  DISTRICTS 

Not  only  have  the  districts  had  a  larger  number  of  families 
in  charge  than  at  any  period  since  the  winter  of  1893-94,  but 
in  some  ways  their  work  has  been  unusually  perplexing.  It 
is  hard  to  deal  satisfactorily  with  families  containing  able- 
bodied,  fairly  capable  men  and  women  willing  to  work,  when 
they  can  not  find  work  and  it  can  not  be  found  for  ihem. 
The  greatest  care  is  required  to  avoid  demoralization  in  the 


30 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


best  of  such  families.  Another  feature  which  has  increased 
the  difficulties  of  the  work  is  that  during  the  latter  half  of 
the  year  a  certain  number  of  applications  have  been  received 
from  a  class  who  do  not  ordinarily  seek  organized  charity — 
persons  who  live  on  the  proceeds  of  begging,  petty  thefts, 
and  immoral  practices,  and  who  have  applied  this  year  in  the 
hope  that  they  might  profit  by  the  general  sympathy  aroused 
by  the  hard  times.  In  several  districts  there  has  been  an  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  foreign  applicants,  which  means  in- 
creased difficulty  on  account  of  language,  if  for  no  other 
reason.  Italians  have  become  more  numerous  in  Greenwich, 
Gramercy,  Harlem,  and  Bronx,  and  Slavs  in  Gramercy.  The 
number  of  Negro  families  in  charge  of  Hudson  has  increased, 
and  part  of  the  time  of  the  Negro  nurse  is  regularly  at  the 
disposition  of  Hudson  District.  In  other  districts  there  have 
been  difficulties  due  to  the  physical  environment  rather  than 
to  the  population:  in  Corlears,  for  example,  changes  in  car 
tracks  have  kept  the  streets  in  unusually  bad  condition ;  and 
in  Chelsea  the  new  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Terminal  hrs  in- 
volved a  decrease  in  tenement  accommodations  which  has  not 
yet  been  adjusted  and  which  has  affected  rents. 

Diagram  4  shows  the  number  of  cases  under  active  care  of 
the  districts  in  each  month  of  the  year,  compared  with  the 
two  preceding  years.  Each  month  there  have  been  from  34 
to  77  per  cent  more  cases  under  care  than  there  were  in  the 
corresponding  month  of  1906-07.  The  greatest  difference 
occurred  in  the  late  winter  and  early  spring — February, 
March,  and  April — and  in  the  latter  part  of  the  summer — 
July,  August,  and  September. 

The  increase  in  the  summer  was  probably  due  in  part  to 
an  unusual  amount  of  fresh-air  work  done  directly  by  the 
districts.  In  recent  years  this  part  of  our  work  has  been 
largely  advice  and  direction,  applicants  being  referred  to  the 
fresh-air  agencies,  which  made  all  arrangements  for  transpor- 
tation and  care.    This  year,  in  addition  to  such  use  of  cs-

tablished  agencies,  the  districts  have  dealt  directly  with  fresh- 
air  homes  and  country  families,  with  a  view  to  selecting 
places  adapted  to  the  needs  of  the  individual.  Many  were 
sent  to  private  families  in  the  country  and  this  was  found  to 
be  especially  beneficial  because  the  homes  were  carefully 
selected  for  the  educational  influence  they  would  have  as 
well  as  for  the  opportunities  they  offered  for  physical  im- 
provement. Day  excursions  w^ere  planned,  also,  in  charge 
of  some  one  of  the  office  force,  for  women  who  could  not 
leave  home  for  a  longer  stay,  and  were  considered  particular- 


32 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


ly  satisfactory  because  of  the  opportunity  they  gave  of  bet- 
ter acquaintance  with  the  women. 

It  is  noticeable,  in  the  diagram,  that  the  September  figure 
for  this  year  was  a  decrease  from  August,  instead  of,  as  usual, 
an  increase,  just  as  in  the  Joint  Application  Bureau  and  the 
Registration  Bureau  there  was  a  falling  off  at  the  end  of  the 
summer. 

The  total  number  of  families  in  charge  of  each  of  the  district 
committees  during  1907-08  and  1906-07  is  shown  in  Diagram  5.

shaded  one  for  1906-U7. 

There  have  been  certain  distinguishing  features  in  the  district 
work  in  addition  to  the  increase  in  the  number  of  cases.  The 
character  of  the  increase  itself  resulted  in  a  greater  proportion 
of  two  general  types  of  cases,  described  by  one  of  the  district

committees  as  "respectable  people''  and  "those  who  are  never  self- 
supporting."  There  has  been  more  fresh-air  work  than  usual. 
There  has  been  apparently  a  decrease  in  the  need  for  relief  for 
consumptives  in  their  homes,  which  may  be  due  to  the  develop- 
ments in  the  work  of  the  tuberculosis  clinics,  and  an  increase  in 
the  demand  for  institutional  care  for  consumptives  in  all  stages 
of  the  disease.  Arrangements  have  been  made  in  more  cases 
than  usual  for  families  to  move  out  of  the  city,  to  the  country, 
or  back  to  their  European  home.  Foreign  consuls,  especially  the 
Italian  consul,  have  been  prompt  and  cordial  in  providing  trans- 
portation on  our  request.  Corlears  District  Committee  reports 
that  the  churches,  societies  and  settlements  within  its  boundaries 
have  given  more  cordial  co-operation  than  ever  before ;  and  the 
Riverside  Committee,  that  it  has  improved  its  own  organization, 
and  has  been  instrumental  in  securing  the  opening  of  an  additional 
Milk  Station  by  the  Association  for  Improving  the  Condition  of 
the  Poor,  and  an  additional  Diet  Kitchen  office  in  the  district. 

The  needs  mentioned  in  the  reports  from  the  districts  are  for 
branches  of  the  Laundry  in  those  parts  of  the  city  to  which  the 
Charity  Organization  Society  Laundry  is  not  accessible ;  more 
workrooms  for  women  unable  to  go  to  the  Laundry ;  more  day 
nurseries  and  diet  kitchens,  and  accommodations  for  consump- 
tives;  a  nursery  for  school  children  after  school  hours  (Green- 
wich) ;  a  social  settlement  in  the  Negro  neighborhood  in  West 
134th  and  135th  Streets  (Harlem)  ;  homes  for  the  aged,  dental 
clinics,  and  more  classes  for  defective  children  (Bronx).  Cor- 
lears and  Bronx  both  feel  the  need  for  a  neighborhood  building 
which  shall  be  to  their  districts  what  the  United  Charities  Build- 
ing is  to  the  social  work  of  the  city. 

The  Committee  on  District  Work  arranged  a  conference  on 
the  care  of  families  in  which  there  is  tuberculosis,  which  was 
held  on  January  13  and  well  attended. 

The  stafT  of  the  district  offices  was  increased  during  the  winter 
by  the  addition  of  a  nurse  in  Greenwich,  Chelsea,  Riverside,  York- 
ville,  and  Harlem,  and  a  second  assistant  in  Chelsea  and  Bronx.

GENERAL  WORK 


35 


In  this  way  the  total  number  of  persons  on  the  staff  of  the  ten 
districts  was  raised  during  the  year  from  thirty-three  to  forty. 
The  salaries  of  all  eight  of  the  nurses  who  were  on  the  staff  of 
the  district  offices  during  the  year  were  supplied  by  special  con- 
tributions from  persons  interested  in  this  aspect  of  the  work. 

On  December  i  an  eleventh  district  office  will  be  opened  at 
261  West  52d  Street.  The  new  district  will  be  called  Clinton 
and  its  boundaries  will  be  46th  and  53d  Streets,  Fifth  Avenue, 
and  the  Hudson  River.  The  southern  boundary  of  Hudson  Dis- 
trict will  be  moved  north  to  53d  Street;  and  the  boundary  be- 
tween Hudson  and  Riverside  will  be  96th  Street  instead  of  72d 
Street,  as  it  has  been.  Mrs.  John  M.  Glenn  is  to  be  the  chairman 
of  Clinton  District  Committee,  and  the  agent  will  be  Miss  Caro- 
line Goodyear,  former  agent  of  Riverside  District,  who  has 
been  on  leave  of  absence  during  the  past  year,  engaged  in  a  study, 
as  a  senior  fellow  in  the  School  of  Philanthropy,  of  the  results 
of  treatment  of  families  by  the  Charity  Organization  Society. 
This  district,  with  a  small  territory  and  limited  number  of  fami- 
lies, will  offer  opportunities  for  trying  out  new  ideas  and  for 
thoroughly  testing  methods.  It  is  intended  to  be  of  special  service 
to  the  Field  Department  for  the  extension  of  organized  charity 
and  in  the  fiejd  work  of  the  School  of  Philanthropy. 

THE.   RECEPTION  BUREAU 

The  work  at  the  Inquiry  Desk  has  been  varied,  as  usual,  and 
it  has  been  intensified  in  many  lines.  There  have  been  the  usual 
inquiries  about  placing  aged  persons  and  cripples,  the  insane,  the 
incurable,  those  needing  temporary  hospital  care;  about  educa- 
tional work,  settlements,  tenement  house  work,  playgrounds,  va- 
cation schools,  and  other  activities  in  New  York ;  how  people  who 
are  able  to  do  so  can  be  forced  to  support  needy  relatives ;  about 
institutional  care  for  persons  living  outside  the  city,  frequently 
in  other  states ;  about  reduced  rates  of  transportation. 

There  have  been  more  people  asking  about  employment  than 
ever  before  and  especially  capable,  earnest  women  and  men  who 


36 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


have  always  supported  or  assisted  in  the  support  of  their  families 
have  been  among  this  number  and  have  also  been  obliged  to  seek 
aid  in  rent,  clothing,  fuel  and  food.  Inquiries  about  the  collecting 
of  wages  and  about  loan  bureaus  have  been  more  frequent.  Ad- 
vice has  been  sought  more  frequently  in  regard  to  placing  women 
who  have  become  intemperate  or  addicted  to  drugs,  and  there 
has  been  an  alarming  increase  in  inquiries  about  placing  young 
girls  who  have  gone  astray  or  are  drifting  towards  a  life  of 
crime  and  degeneracy. 

There  has  been  an  increase,  also,  in  calls  from  persons  finan- 
cially able  to  help  families  in  whom  they  are  interested,  and  will- 
ing to'  give  personal  service,  who  come  to  the  Society  for  help 
in  doing  this  in  the  best  way.  Visitors  from  other  cities,  inter- 
ested in  the  work  of  the  Society,  or  coming  to  the  Society  for 
information  about  other  social  work  in  New  York,  have  been 
more  numerous  than  ever  before. 

THE   SPi:CIAL   EMPLOYMENT  BUREIAU 

At  the  close  of  the  year  2353  handicapped  applicants  had  been 
registered  in  the  Special  Employment  Bureau  and  1161  place- 
ments had  been  made  since  the  establishment  of  the  Bureau  in 
April,  1906;  1217  of  the  applicants  were  registered,  and  711  of 
the  placements  were  made,  during  the  last  year.  The  average 
number  of  placements  per  month  during  the  year  has  been  59. 

Diagram  6  shows,  for  each  month  since  the  Bureau  was 
organized  in  its  present  form,  the  total  number  of  applications, 
new  and  recurrent,  and  the  number  of  placements  in  steady  and 
in  temporary  work.  Both  applications  and  placements  are  on 
a  higher  level  in  the  last  six  months.  The  influence  of  the  indus- 
trial conditions  of  the  winter  is  seen  in  the  high  proportion  of 
temporary  positions  among  the  placements  from  November  to 
April.  The  degree  of  success  which  has  been  attained  in  finding

women  idle,  is  encouraging.  The  failure  of  the  placements  to 
keep  up  with  the  applications,  when  they  increase  rapidly,  prob- 
ably means  that  the  limit  of  expansion  with  the  present  office 
staff  has  been  reached.  When  more  time  is  consumed  in  inter- 
views with  applicants  in  the  office  there  is  just  so  much  less 
time  available  for|finding  positions. 

There  has  been  an  increase  in  the  number  of  women  appli- 
cants, probably  because  disabled  and  old  women  who  in  normal 
times  are  supported  by  other  members  of  the  family  have  been 
obliged  to  try  to  find  some  employment.  Partly  as  a  result  of 
this  increase  in  women  applicants  domestic  service  has  been  con- 
spicuous among  the  kinds  of  employment  secured.  The  Commit- 
tee feels  that  this  is  a  temporary  situation,  and  does  not  fear 
that  the  Bureau  is  in  any  danger  of  becoming  merely  an  agency 
for  domestic  servants.  Increasing  effort  is  put  forth  to  make 
the  work  of  the  Bureau  constructive  and  preventive,  and  to  this 
end  systematic  co-operation  with  hospitals  and  dispensaries  is 
being  developed.  It  is  hoped  that  the  Bureau  may  become  a 
place  in  which  persons  suffering  from  heart  disease  or  from

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


any  other  illness  that  may  become  chronic  and  result  in  death  or 
total  disability,  may  find  occupation  suited  to  their  health. 

An  important  study  was  carried  on  during  last  year  by  Miss 
Eleanor  Adler,  fellow  of  the  School  of  Philanthropy,  in  close  co- 
operation with  the  Committee  on  the  Special  Employment  Bureau, 
into  the  possibilities  of  employment  for  the  various  types  of  handi- 
capped persons  in  140  of  the  factory  trades  of  New  York.  This 
study  is  being  carried  further  during  the  current  year.  It  has 
already  been  of  practical  value  in  the  work  of  the  Bureau.  When 
completed  it  will  demonstrate  the  large  number  of  opportunities 
there  are  for  partly  disabled  persons  to  fill  niches  in  the  industrial 
world.  It  will  be  equally  valuable  in  directing  attention  to  the 
trades  for  which  schools  and  hospitals  for  crippled  children 
should  prepare  their  wards. 

By  action  of  the  Central  Council  the  income  of  the  legacy 
of  $25,000  from  the  estate  of  Olive  Wilmot  Sanford  has  been 
devoted  to  the  work  of  this  Bureau. 

THE   BUREAU   OF  ADVICE   AND  INFORMATION 

At  the  close  of  the  year  there  were  on  file  in  the  Bureau  of  ! 
Advice  and  Information  records  of  2345  enterprises,  of  which 
255  had  been  added  in  the  last  twelve  months.    During  the  year 
1674  written  reports  had  been  issued,  in  regard  to  541  enterprises, 
in  response  to  inquiries  from  627  diflPerent  individuals. 

Investigations  have  also  been  made,  and  reports  issued,  in 
regard  to  the  following  subjects: 

(1)  The  need  for  a  temporary  shelter  for  girls  and  women, 
arraigned  in  the  Night  Court ;  ^ 

(2)  Facilities  for  the  care  and  treatment  of  blind  babies; 

(3)  Agencies  in  Greater  New  York  which  provide  milk  for 
infants ; 

(4)  Agencies  which  care  for  destitute  families  of  prisoners; 

(5)  Fresh-air  agencies ; 

(6)  Homes  for  aged  colored  people; 

(7)  Rescue  Mission  work  for  girls.  I

Early  in  November  the  128th  Confidential  Bulletin  issued  by 
the  Society  was  published.  This,  together  with  the  Supplement 
published  in  ^larch,  contained  382  names. 

The  publication  of  the  New  York  Charities  Directory  has 
been  assigned  to  this  Bureau,  and  work  on  the  nineteenth  edition, 
that  for  1909,  was  begun  before  the  close  of  the  year. 

At  the  date  of  going  to  press  arrangements  for  the  reorgani- 
zation and  very  considerable  expansion  of  the  Bureau  are  under 
way.  In  this  reorganization  the  Mendicancy  Bureau,  heretofore 
conducted  under  the  direction  of  the  Committee  on  Mendicancy, 
will  be  absorbed  in  the  Bureau  of  Advice  and  Information.  In 
the  absence  of  effective  general  co-operation  by  the  Police  De- 
partment it  is  felt  that  whatever  is  done  by  the  Society  in  this 
direction  should  be  less  in  the  direct  prosecution  of  individual 
mendicants  and  increasingly  in  the  investigation,  exposure,  and 
when  necessary  the  prosecution  of  fraudulent  schemes  for  prey- 
ing upon  the  general  charitable  public.  The  experience  of  the 
Society's  chief  mendicancy  officer  will  thus  be  utilized  to  the 
great  advantage  of  this  side  of  the  work  of  the  Bureau  of  Advice 
and  Information,  while  due  attention  will  also  be  paid  to  the 
encouragement  of  bona  -fide  enterprises  and  the  better  organiza- 
tion and  co-ordination  of  the  charitable  activities  of  the  city. 


CONFERENCES   OF  SOCIAL  WORnURS 

The  Central  Auxiliary  Committee  of  Women  has  con- 
ducted its  usual  series  of  four  conferences  in  the  Assembly 
Hall  of  the  United  Charities  Building  on  the  third  Tuesday 
morning  of  January,  February,  March,  and  April.  The  at- 
tendance last  year  showed  a  marked  increase,  and  the  dis- 
cussion was  unusually  free  and  spirited. 

The  program  of  the  course  was  as  follows:

THE   PE.NNY   PROVIDENT  FUND 

The  Penny  Provident  Fund  has  had  smaller  figures  during 
the  year  for  the  same  reason  that  the  other  departments  of 
the  Society's  work  have  had  larger  ones. 

Deposits  have  been  smaller  in  each  month  throughout 
the  year,  and  the  accumulated  deposits  at  the  end  of  each 
month  smaller  than  on  the  corresponding  date  of  preceding 
years.  Withdrawals  were  heavier  in  October,  January,  and  April, 
than  they  were  in  the  corresponding  months  the  year  before, 
but  the  total  for  the  year  was  less  even  in  the  case  of  with- 
drawals, no  doubt  because  there  was  a  steadily  diminishing 
reserve  to  draw  upon.  The  stations  at  social  settlements  and 
others  in  the  poorer  parts  of  the  city,  have  been  most  affected. 

The  Committee  on  Provident  Habits  has  changed  its 
fiscal  year  to  coincide  with  that  of  the  Society  and  has  just 
issued  a  report  for  the  period  between  February  i,  1907,  and 
September  30,  1908.  During  the  twenty  months  there  was  a 
net  decrease  of  ten  in  the  number  of  stations,  and  a  net 
loss  of  22,298  depositors.  On  October  i,  1908,  there  were 
249  stations,  about  two-thirds  of  them  in  Greater  New  York, 
and  38,816  depositors.    The  amount  on  deposit  was  $27,-

THE  LAUNDRV 

The  number  of  days'  work  performed  in  the  Laundry  was 
slightly  larger  than  it  was  in  1906-07,  11,984  as  compared  with 
11,530.  The  Laundry's  chief  contribution  to  relieving  the  un- 
usual conditions  of  the  winter  does  not,  however,  appear  in  these 
figures,  but  in  the  number  of  women  employed:  401  different 
women  did  the  work  of  last  year,  and  of  these  244  were  **new," 
that  is,  practically  untrained.  This  is  an  increase  of  64  per 
cent  in  the  total  number  of  women  helped,  and  an  increase  of 
55  per  cent  in  the  number  of  untrained  women  who  have  been 
instructed,  the  number  of  new  women  in  1907-08  being  exactly 
the  same  as  the  total  number  of  women  in  1906-07.    (Diagram  7.)

■with  19U6-U7.   The  black  part  of  the  column  represents  ''new  women." 

In  proportion  as  the  educational  character  of  the  Laundry  is 
emphasized  the  financial  difficulties  increase.  It  is  not  surprising, 
therefore,  that  the  loss  on  business,  to  be  made  up  by  contribu- 
tions, was  somewhat  greater  than  it  was  the  year  before.

THE  WOOD  YARD 

The  Wood  Yard  was  taxed  to  its  utmost  possibility  of  ex- 
pansion last  year.  The  total  number  of  days'  work  done  was 
more  than  two  and  a  half  times  the  number  in  1906-07.  In 
February  and  March  it  was  five  times  as  much,  and  only  in 
June  and  July,  when  the  new  sheds  were  being  built,  was  it 
normal.  (Diagram  8.)  Late  in  the  winter,  when  the  pressure 
was  greatest,  the  working  day  of  the  staff  was  lengthened  one 
hour.

GENERAL  WORK

Applications  began  to  increase  rapidly  in  October  and  No- 
vember. In  December  it  was  found  necessary  to  refuse  work  to 
men  from  the  Municipal  Lodging  House ;  in  January  the  number 
of  homeless  men  from  the  Joint  Application  Bureau  was  limited, 
for  the  first  time  since  the  Bureau  was  established,  in  order  to 
give  preference  to  men  with  families  dependent  on  them ;  and  the 
district  agents  were  requested  from  time  to  time  to  select  with 
unusual  care  the  men  whom  they  sent.  Of  the  total  number  of 
days'  work  performed  during  the  year  only  28  per  cent  was  done 
by  homeless  men ;  during  the  year  1906-07  it  was  45  per  cent. 

The  stock  of  cut  wood  increased  so  rapidly,  on  account  of 
the  unusual  number  of  workers  and  the  over-stocked  condi- 
tion of  the  market,  that  in  January  the  space  available  for 
working  was  seriously  encroached  upon  and  the  Committee 
was  facing  a  critical  situation.  The  Harlem  Branch  of  the 
Wood  Yard  was  reopened  in  East  127th  Street,  and  all  pos- 
sible efforts  were  made  to  increase  the  sales  of  wood,  but 
neither  of  these  measures  brought  appreciable  relief.  Early 
in  February  a  contribution  of  $10,000  was  received  by  the 
Committee,  "for  the  relief  of  unemployed  men  with  families." 
This  gift  enabled  the  Committee  to  dispose  of  the  encumber- 
ing stock  of  wood,  which  was  piling  up  until  it  bade  fair  to 
crowd  out  the  men  altogether  and  thus  stop  the  work  of  the 
Wood  Yard,  by  giving  it  to  families  under  the  care  of  the  Society's 
Districts,  and  to  institutions  approved  by  the  Society.  Part  of  a 
second  contribution  of  $5,000  from  the  same  anonymous  donor, 
received  at  the  end  of  March,  was  used  for  the  same  purpose. 
Altogether  7403^  cords  of  cut  wood  were  distributed  in  this  way, 
between  February  i  and  May  9,  at  a  valuation  of  $12,348.75 ; 
216^  cords  of  this  amount  were  delivered  to  1,004  District 
families,  and  the  rest,  478^  cords,  to  112  institutions. 

A  new  two-story  iron  structure  has  been  erected  in  place 
of  the  old  wooden  sheds,  by  a  donor  whose  name  is  withheld, 
and  the  space  available  for  storage  purposes  and  for  working

has  thereby  been  doubled,  to  the  great  advantage  of  the  work  of 
the  Wood  Yard  and  its  beneficiaries. 

In  spite  of  all  this,  however,  the  present  winter  began  with 
a  larger  stock  of  cut  wood  in  the  yard  than  there  had  ever 
been  before  at  that  season,  and  if  the  pressure  of  applicants 
should  continue  the  same  problems  will  have  to  be  faced  again 
this  winter.

SOCIAL  CONDITIONS 

The  Department  for  the  Improvement  of  Social  Condi- 
tions has  concerned  itself  chiefly  with  tuberculosis  preven- 
tion and  tenement  house  reform. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  pieces  of  work  of  the  year 
has  been  the  attempt  to  reach  the  tenement  house  popula- 
tion in  their  homes  by  the  distribution  of  an  attractive  colored 
poster  containing  advice  with  regard  to  consumption  and  its 
prevention  and  treatment. 

Beginning  with  the  Italians,  the  Committee  has  inaugu- 
rated a  plan  of  house  to  house  visitation — or  rather,  door  to 
door  visitation — in  the  older  Italian  quarter  of  the  city,  in 
Mott,  Mulberry  and  Elizabeth  streets  and  neighboring 
thoroughfares.  An  Italian  agent  has  gone  from  house  to 
house,  calling  on  each  family,  and  leaving  with  it  an  attrac- 
tive picture  of  a  scene  in  Venice,  a  canal  with  a  palace  and 
its  garden  in  tfie  foreground  and  the  Campanile  in  the  dis- 
tance. The  picture  is  on  a  poster  twenty  by  twenty-five  inches, 
arranged  to  be  hung  on  the  walls.  The  Committee  believed 
that  a  picture  of  this  kind  would  especially  appeal  to  the 
Italians,  with  their  love  of  color,  and  that  it  would  be  one 
which  they  would  delight  in  preserving  and  keeping  in  sight. 

Printed  with  the  picture  is  simple  advice  with  reference  to 
consumption.  The  picture  bears  this  legend  at  the  top,  "A  cough 
may  lead  to  consumption,"  and  then  proceeds  to  give  the  follow- 
ing advice:  "If  you  have  a  cough  or  cold  that  hangs  on,  if  you 
even  faintly  suspect  that  your  lungs  are  not  strong,  do  not  try 
to  cure  yourself.  Go  to  a  doctor,  or  to  the  nearest  tuberculosis 
clinic,  where  you  will  be  treated  free  of  charge,  if  unable  to  pay." 


46 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


The  address  is  given  of  the  clinic  for  the  particular  district  in 
which  the  poster  is  distributed.  At  the  bottom  is  a  statement 
that  the  picture  is  given  with  the  compliments  of  the  Committee 
on  the  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis  of  the  New  York  Charity 
Organization  Society,  with  its  address. 

It  will  be  seen  that  four  important  results  are  sought  by 
the  distribution  of  this  poster: 

First :  To  give  an  attractive  picture  in  a  friendly  spirit  to 
large  numbers  of  the  Italian  tenement  population  who  keenly 
appreciate  all  things  artistic  and  who  have  little  opportunity 
of  indulging  this  taste  in  their  homes„ 

Second:  To  give  sound  advice  with  regard  to  the  nature 
of  tuberculosis  and  the  best  methods  of  prevention. 

Third:  To  refer  persons  who  are  sick  to  a  dispensary  or 
clinic  in  their  own  neighborhood  where  they  may  be  treated 
free  of  charge. 

Fourth :  To  give  to  the  foreign  tenement  house  popula- 
tion a  totally  new  conception  of  the  importance  of  ventila- 
tion and  its  effect  upon  health. 

Many  interesting  questions  have  arisen  in  connection  with 
this  work.  The  first  which  naturally  presents  itself  is:  *Tf 
this  is  to  be  effective  among  the  Italians  why  is  it  printed 
in  English?"  The  Committee  originally  planned  to  have  the 
poster  printed  in  Italian.  Before  doing  so,  however,  it  was 
thought  best  to  consult  Italians  in  the  city  who  have  special 
knowledge  of  the  New  York  Italian  population.  Dr.  Antonio 
Stella,  one  of  the  leading  Italian  physicians,  said  immediately, 
"Do  not  print  it  in  Italian.  The  great  majority  of  adult 
Italians  in  New  York  do  not  read  any  language,  either  Italian 
or  English.  On  the  other  hand,  most  of  the  children  read 
English  and  but  few  of  them  read  Italian.  If  you  want  your 
plan  to  be  successful,  print  your  poster  in  English.  The  chil- 
dren will  then  read  it  and  translate  it  for  their  parents  into 
the  particular  dialect  which  the  family  may  speak." 

Not  being  willing  to  rest  so  important  a  decision  on  the 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  47 


advice  of  one  person,  even  though  a  competent  adviser,  further 
advice  was  sought  from  an  ItaHan  priest  in  the  heart  of  the 
Italian  tenement  district.  He  said :  ''Splendid !  But  do  not 
print  it  in  Italian.  Print  it  in  English."  He  gave  the  same 
reasons  that  Dr.  Stella  had  given,  adding  that  whenever  he 
had  an  important  notice  to  give  out  in  his  church  which  he 
wished  to  be  sure  reached  the  members  of  his  congregation, 
he  always  had  it  printed  in  English,  knowing  that  the  children 
would  take  it  home  and  translate  it  to  their  parents.  To  print 
it  in  Italian  would  be  throwing  away  so  much  money. 

There  is  no  question  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  posters. 
The  work  of  distribution  has  been  carried  on  by  an  Italian- 
born  young  woman  employed  by  the  Committee,  who  speaks 
fluently  both  Italian  and  English.  She  had  been  treated  for 
tuberculosis  at  Stony  Wold  Sanatorium  and  discharged  not 
many  months  before.  This  materially  added  to  her  usefulness. 
Knocking  upon  the  door  of  each  apartment  and  entering, 
she  has  offered  the  poster,  explaining  in  Italian  that  it  is  a 
gift  from  the  Charity  Organization  Society  and  that  it  is  in- 
tended to  prevent  consumption,  explaining  what  consump- 
tion is,  that  it  is  preventable  and  curable,  and  generally  con- 
cluding with  a  few  suggestions  as  to  the  importance  of  keep- 
ing the  windov/s  open  both  day  and  night.  After  a  few  days* 
experience  we  abandoned  saying  that  the  poster  was  a  gift 
but  adopted  the  happy  expedient,  suggested  by  Dr.  Stella,  of 
calling  it  a  "manifest."  This  had  a  familiar  sound  to  the 
Italians,  because  of  official  promulgations  which  they  had 
frequently  received  from  the  government  in  the  old  country. 
The  majority  of  the  Italians  have  been  delighted  with  the 
poster,  and  many  of  them  have  been  unable  to  understand 
the  kindness  which  had  prompted  strangers  to  give  them 
something  so  attractive.  The  idea  that  consumption  is  not 
hereditary  is  to  most  of  them  totally  new ;  that  it  can  be 
prevented  is  equally  novel. 

Our  agent  has  found  the  windows  shut  in  most  of  the 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


homes  she  has  visited,  even  v^hen  the  room  was  filled  with 
Italian  women  working  on  garments.  Upon  advising  them 
to  open  the  windows,  and  explaining  that  the  way  to  keep 
from  getting  consumption  is  to  have  plenty  of  fresh  air  both 
night  and  day,  the  women  have  replied  that  they  would  catch 
cold,  and  they  have  seemed  horrified  at  the  thought  of  open- 
ing their  windows  at  night,  explaining  that  "the  night  air 
would  surely  bring  illness."  That  the  Italian  peasant  living 
in  a  New  York  tenement  should  still  believe  in  the  danger  of 
the  "night  air"  is  not  surprising  when  we  consider  how  this 
belief  has  been  inculcated  in  them  for  generations,  especially 
in  districts  where  the  night  air  is  indeed  a  menace  because  of  the 
mosquitoes  carrying  with  them  malaria  and  fevers  of  various 
kinds. 

In  the  houses  occupied  chiefly  by  Sicilians  the  experiences 
have  been  somewhat  different.  Here  the  poster  is  some- 
times regarded  with  suspicion  and  superstition.  In  one  case 
a  woman  declined  to  receive  it,  saying  it  would  bring  disease 
if  it  were  hung  upon  the  walls. 

As  the  work  of  distribution  has  progressed,  the  wnole  neigh- 
borhood has  gradually  become  informed  about  it,  so  that  to-day 
our  agent  finds  as  she  approaches  a  tenement  house  a  crowd  of 
people  lined  up  awaiting  her,  eager  to  receive  the  picture  and 
talking  about  it  and  all  it  means.  Even  the  children  follow  her 
from  house  to  house  repeating  with  delight  what  they  have 
heard  her  say  to  the  families  she  has  visited  and  running  ahead 
to  tell  their  own  families  about  her  and  about  the  pictures  that  are 
coming. 

At  the  time  of  writing  this  report  the  work  of  distribution 
is  still  going  on.    Ten  thousand  copies  will  be  distributed  before  I 
the  work  is  completed,  and  each  Italian  family  in  the  district  J 
will  have  one  of  the  posters.    The  cost  of  the  posters  is  about  | 
four  cents  each,  and  the  cost  of  distribution  thirteen  dollars  a 
week.    It  will  probably  take  from  six  to  eight  weeks  to  do  the 
work,  making  the  total  cost  in  round  figures  five  hundred  dol-

lars  for  printing  and  distributing  the  10,000  pictures.  If  the 
committee's  funds  warrant,  a  similar  distribution  will  be  made 
later  on  in  ''Little  Italy"  further  uptown,  and  among  the  Rus- 
sians, Bohemians  and  Negroes. 

The  campaign  for  the  prevention  of  tuberculosis  is  neces- 
sarily a  campaign  against  spitting.  It  is  also,  however,  a  cam- 
paign for  adequate  ventilation — ventilation  not  only  in  the  homes 
of  the  people,  but  in  work-shops,  factories,  department  stores, 
public  conveyances,  theatres,  churches,  synagogues  and  other 
places  of  public  assemblage. 

In  addition  to  the  unique  plan  already  described,  the  com- 
mittee has  carried  on  its  campaign  of  education  through  the 
usual  channels  employed  in  previous  years,  but  on  a  larger  scale 
and  with  a  wider  sphere  of  influence. 

THE.   REORGANIZED  TRAVELING  EXHIBIT 

The  Traveling  Exhibit  is  one  of  the  most  potent  methods 
of  educating  the  community  with  regard  to  tuberculosis.  In 
previous  years  the  exhibit  has  been  shown  chiefly  in  social 
settlements,  churthes,  synagogues,  public  libraries  and  similar 
places.  During  the  present  year  a  new  idea  has  been  developed, 
namely,  that  of  showing  the  exhibit  in  vacant  stores  on  crowded 
thoroughfares.  This  experiment  has  been  so  great  a  success  that 
during  the  coming  year  the  exhibit  will  probably  be  shown 
entirely  in  such  localities.  During  a  six  weeks'  stay  in  one  place 
this  year  it  w^as  viewed  by  150,000  people,  representing  all  classes 
of  the  community. 

If  the  Traveling  Exhibit  is  an  important  educational  factor, 
the  method  of  its  organization  and  display  is  of  great  impor- 
tance. During  the  year  a  thorough  reorganization  of  the  exhibit 
has  been  had,  so  that  the  present  exhibit  is  practically  a  new 
one.  It  is  now  arranged  in  five  main  groups,  or  classes:  I. 
Where  Tuberculosis  Breeds;  II.  How  Tuberculosis  is  Spread;

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


III.  The  Extent  of  the  Disease;  IV.  How  Tuberculosis  is  Cured;. 
V.  How  Tuberculosis  is  Prevented. 

All  the  pictures  are  of  uniform  size,  14  by  17  inches,  large 
enough  to  be  readily  seen.  They  are  bromide  enlargements,  with 
one  style  of  finish,  and  all  are  mounted  on  black  with  black 
frames  of  uniform  size  and  style.  Only  one  picture  is  shown  in 
each  frame.  The  effect  of  this  uniform  treatment  is  to  make 
the  subject  of  the  picture  the  chief  feature  and  to  concentrate 
upon  it  the  attention  of  the  observer.  Heretofore,  one  exhibit 
was  likely  to  receive  closer  attention  than  another,  because  the 
photograph  shown  happened  to  be  of  a  larger  size,  thus  to  a 
certain  extent  defeating  the  purpose  of  the  exhibit.  A  uniform 
method  of  labelling  has  also  been  adopted — clear,  Roman  letters, 
in  white  on  a  black  background — giving  simplicity,  clearness  and 
terseness  of  expression.  A  new  and  improved  method  of  mount- 
ing the  photographs  has  been  adopted. 

Through  this  standardization  a  far  better  and  more  perma- 
nent method  of  arrangement  has  been  made  possible.  Each  one 
of  the  five  main  divisions  of  the  exhibit  constitutes  a  class  by 
itself,  and  each  vertical  stack  of  photographs  constitutes  a  unit. 
The  photographs  are  hung  one  above  another  so  that  they  will 
be  not  more  than  four  photographs  in  height.  At  the  top  is 
always  placed  a  sign  or  motto  describing  the  pictures  beneath, 
thus  bringing  the  photographs  near  the  level  of  the  eye.  By  this 
means  a  harmonious  effect  of  uniform  top  and  bottom  lines  of 
the  whole  exhibit  is  produced.  Each  exhibit  also  has  its  perma- 
nent record  number  making  it  easy  to  adapt  the  exhibit  to  vary- 
ing wall  spaces  found  in  different  locations,  and  saving  a  great 
deal  of  time  and  energy  heretofore  expended  in  unnecessary  re- 
arrangement of  the  exhibit. 

A  unique  method  of  hanging  the  pictures  has  been  devised  by 
which  there  are  no  projecting  hooks  to  scratch  the  other  pictures 
or  to  break  off.  In  the  top  and  bottom  of  each  frame  a  slot  has 
been  cut  through  which  a  pin  is  driven  and  into  this  pin  are 
fastened  detachable  hooks  especially  designed  for  the  purpose.. 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS      5 1 

The  top  picture  is  in  each  case  hung  from  the  picture-molding 
by  hooks  especially  designed  to  fit  into  picture  hooks,  and  the 
lower  pictures  are  suspended  each  from  the  one  immediately  above 
it.  By  this  means  uniformity  of  spacing  between  the  pictures  is 
secured  and  the  necessity  of  measuring  and  laying  out  the  exhibit 
each  time  it  is  moved  from  place  to  place  is  obviated. 

The  transportation  of  an  exhibit  is  a  serious  problem,  com- 
prising as  it  does  photographs,  models,  glass  jars  containing 
pathological  specimens  in  alcohol,  feather  dusters,  sputum  cups. 
The  usual  method  is  to  ship  them  in  rough  packing  cases  of  pine, 
made  for  the  purpose.  This  method  has  caused  serious  damage 
to  the  pictures  and  has  also  been  inconvenient.  The  photo- 
graphs, which  constitute  the  main  portion  of  the  exhibit,  are 
now  packed  in  trunks,  each  one  holding  thirty  framed  pictures 
in  thirty  compartments.  Each  picture  is  filed  in  its  proper  com- 
partment. By  this  means  not  only  are  the  pictures  preserved 
from  unnecessary  wear  and  tear,  but  it  is  possible,  in  arranging 
the  exhibit  in  different  places,  to  omit  pictures  which  cannot  be 
hung  because  of  lack  of  space.  The  greatest  advantage  of  the 
trunks  is  the  saving  of  time  and  labor  in  putting  up  and  taking 
down  the  exhibit.  It  can  be  done  in  less  than  one  day.  In  addi- 
tion, there  are  ffo  longer  any  unsightly  packing  boxes  to  store 
during  the  exhibit,  which  heretofore  has  been  a  serious  problem. 
Similar  trunks  have  been  made  to  take  care  of  models  and  patho- 
logical specimens ;  glass  cases  have  been  placed  over  the  models, 
and  model  and  case  together  are  shipped  in  their  special  trunks. 

The  reorganized  exhibit  has  been  one  of  the  important  fea- 
tures in  the  marvelous  exhibition  held  in  connection  with  the 
International  Congress  on  Tuberculosis  at  Washington.  The 
Committee  was  awarded  the  highest  prize  as  having  furnished 
the  best  evidence  of  effective  work  by  a  voluntary  association  in 
the  prevention  of  tuberculosis,  sharing  this  honor  with  the 
Woman's  National  Health  Association  of  Ireland.  Requests  for 
photographs  of  the  exhibit  were  made  by  nearly  one  hundred 
different  people  from  all  parts  of  the  world — from  even  so  far

away  as  India  and  China — and  many  important  tuberculosis 
agencies  in  this  country  have  asked  for  copies  of  portions  of  it. 

During  the  year  the  exhibit  has  been  shown  at  the  James- 
town Exhibition,  in  a  store  on  Twenty-third  Street,  at  the  exhibi- 
tion of  Congestion  of  Population,  at  the  Brooklyn  Institute  of 
Arts  and  Sciences,  in  a  store  on  Fourth  Avenue,  in  the  Catholic 
Cathedral,  in  a  public  library  and  at  the  International  Congress 
on  Tuberculosis  at  Washington.  The  total  attendance  at  the 
exhibit  during  the  year  has  been  about  half  a  million  people. 

LECTURES   AND  PUBLICATIONS 

One  of  the  important  features  of  the  Committee's  educational 
work  is  the  series  of  popular  lectures  carried  on  under  its  auspices 
through  the  winter  months  of  each  year.  During  eight  months 
of  the  current  year,  from  October  i  to  June  I,  224  lectures  have 
been  given  to  audiences  of  78,640  people.  The  lectures  have 
been  given  in  English,  Yiddish,  Italian,  Bohemian,  Swedish, 
French  and  German.  They  have  been  given  largely  in  tenement 
districts  before  meetings  of  labor  unions,  at  social  settlements, 
churches,  synagogues,  young  men's  associations,  public  schools, 
public  libraries,  factories,  mothers'  meetings,  trade  schools,  chari- 
table institutions ;  in  fact,  before  almost  every  kind  of  audience. 
They  are  given  almost  entirely  by  physicians.  The  Committee 
organizes  the  course,  arranges  the  places  of  meeting,  supplies 
the  lantern  and  lantern  slides  and  pays  the  expenses  of  the 
stereopticon  and  operator. 

The  Committee  has  continued  throughout  the  year  the  print- 
ing of  maxims  of  advice  on  the  backs  of  street  car  transfers  in 
Manhattan  and  the  Bronx.  During  the  year  about  fifty  million 
of  these  have  been  circulated.  It  has  also  distributed  through 
the  year  about  a  quarter  of  a  million  circulars  with  reference  to 
tuberculosis  and  the  precautions  to  be  taken  with  regard  to  it — 
the  so-called  "Don't  Card"  of  the  Committee.  This  distribution 
has  been  made  through  labor  unions,  factories,  department  stores, 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  53 

settlements,  churches,  public  schools  and  in  connection  with  the 
traveling  exhibit.  The  cards  are  printed  in  English,  German, 
Bohemian,  Italian  and  Yiddish.  The  plan  originated  by  the 
Committee  in  1907  of  sending  out  a  weekly  bulletin  of  news  in 
regard  to  tuberculosis  and  related  subjects  to  the  daily,  weekly 
and  monthly  papers  throughout  the  state  was  continued  through 
the  first  three  months  of  the  fiscal  year,  but  on  January  i  was 
handed  over  to  the  Tuberculosis  Committee  of  the  State  Chari- 
ties Aid  Association,  which  was  then  organized  to  occupy  the 
field  in  New  York  state  outside  of  New  York  City  and  Buffalo. 
The  Committee  has  distributed  various  publications  besides  the 
"Don't  Card."  Among  these  have  been  a  report  on  Bovine 
Tuberculosis,  of  which  1,000  copies  were  distributed;  a  report 
on  Home  Treatment  of  Tuberculosis  in  New  York  City,  of  which 
6,000  have  been  distributed ;  a  leaflet  describing  the  work  of  the 
Committee,  of  which  10,000  copies  were  distributed;  the  poster, 
of  which  5,000  copies  have  thus  far  been  distributed;  a  history 
of  the  Committee's  work  since  its  formation  in  1902,  of  which 
1,000  copies  are  now  in  process  of  distribution,  and  a  summary 
of  the  Committee's  accomplishments  during  this  period,  10,000 
copies  of  which  were  distributed  at  the  International  Congress 

on  Tuberculosis  in  Washington.

THE   CARE   OF   CONSUMPTIVES   IN   NEW  YORK. 

The  Committee  has  given  much  attention  to  the  question  of 
adequate  facilities  for  the  treatment  of  poor  consumptives  in 
this  city.  During  the  winter  it  m.ade  a  special  investigation  of 
conditions  in  the  Tuberculosis  Infirmary,  at  the  Metropolitan 
Hospital,  on  Blackwell's  Island,  and  discovered  that  intolerable 
overcrowding  then  existed;  that  430  patients  were  being  housed 
in  a  space  which  normally  accommodated  180,  and  that  this  situa- 
tion had  existed  for  several  months.  Photographs  were  taken 
of  these  conditions  and  the  whole  matter  presented  to  the  Mayor 
in  the  following  formal  communication: 


54 


*-  REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


March  30,  1908. 

Hon.  George  B.  McClellan,  Mayor, 
City  of  New  York. 

"Sir. — The  members  of  this  Committee,  identified,  as  you 
will  recognize,  with  the  development  of  municipal  and  private 
control  of  tuberculosis,  both  in  their  private  and  public  ca- 
pacity, having  made  a  careful  study  of  the  city's  facilities 
for  caring  for  its  tuberculous  poor,  and  recognizing  the  in- 
adequacy of  present  hospital  accommodations  for  this  class 
of  dependent  sick,  have  appointed  a  special  committee  to 
bring  this  matter  to  your  attention. 

There  are  directly  under  the  city's  control  four  hospitals 
with  facilities  for  treating  tuberculosis  patients.  Two  of 
these  are  under  the  control  of  the  Health  Department  and  two 
under  the  control  of  the  Department  of  Public  Charities. 
Three  other  tuberculosis  hospitals,  under  private  control,  are 
subsidized  by  this  city,  through  the  last  named  department, 
to  care  for  the  tuberculous  sick  at  the  city's  expense.  Thus 
we  have  a  total  of  seven  hospitals  designed  for  the  care  of 
tuberculous  patients  and  practically  under  the  city's  control. 
With  the  exception  of  Otisviile  Sanatorium,  designed  for  the 
treatment  of  early  cases  of  tuberculosis,  these  hospitals  rep- 
resent a  total  of  about  one  thousand,  seven  hundred  and  five 
(1,705)  beds  available  for  persons  suffering  with  advanced 
or  moderately  advanced  tuberculosis. 

Under  date  of  December  21st,  1906,  we  transmitted  to 
the  Hon.  Edward  M.  Grout,  Chairman,  Hospital  Commission 
of  the  City  of  New  York,  an  extended  report  of  the  hospital 
situation  with  reference  to  the  care  of  persons  suffering  with 
tuberculosis.  In  this  report,  based  upon  a  careful  and  actual 
count  of  all  the  living  cases  of  tuberculosis  registered  at  the 
Health  Department,  a  careful  analysis  of  the  number  of 
tuberculosis  patients  treated  in  the  city's  hospitals  for  the 
two  years  and  a  half  preceding,  and  a  study  of  the  work  of 
the  special  tuberculosis  clinics  of  the  city,  we  made  a  con- 
servative estimate  that  about  two  thousand,  seven  hundred 
and  thirty-four  (2,734)  beds  were  then  needed  in  Manhattan 
to  provide  adequate  accommodations  for  those  suffering  with 
tuberculosis  seeking  hospital  care.  Assuming  that  this  esti- 
mate is  fairly  accurate,  a  difference  between  the  demand  and 
the  actual  facilities  of  one  thousand  and  twenty-nine  (1,029) 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  55 

beds,  or  37  per  cent,  presupposes  that  either  many  who  wish 
hospital  care  are  unable  to  obtain  it  for  lack  of  accommoda- 
tions, or  that  those  who  are  treated  in  hospitals  are  fright- 
fully crowded.  The  former  is  probably  true  to  a  consider- 
able degree ;  the  latter  is  unquestionably  true  to  a  lamentable 
extent. 

Intolerable  overcrowding  in  the  Tuberculosis  Infirmary 
of  the  Metropolitan  Hospital  is  now  conspicuously  apparent. 
For  example,  a  reasonable  estimate  made  by  Dr.  Walter 
Sands  Mills,  Attending  Physician  at  the  Tuberculosis  In- 
firmary, places  the  normal  capacity  of  the  male  ward  of  this 
infirmary  at  one  hundred  and  eighty  (180)  beds.  On  January 
i6th,  when  investigated  by  our  Committee,  four  hundred  and 
thirty  (430)  patients  were  being  housed  in  this  single  build- 
ing; that  is  138  per  cent  more  than  the  wards  were  designed 
to  accommodate.  Such  a  situation  is  deplorable  and  has  ex- 
isted for  many  months,  as  the  records  will  show.  Over- 
crowding to  some  extent  prevails  in  every  ward,  tent  and 
pavilion  in  the  infirmar}^  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  private 
hospitals  subsidized  by  the  city  there  is  little,  if  any,  over- 
crowding. These  hospitals  have  a  limited  number  of  beds 
set  aside  for  public  charges  and  when  they  are  filled  others 
are  not  admitted  and  it  consequently  happens  that  during 
the  larger  part  of  the  year  there  are  waiting  lists  for  these 
institutions. 

New  Y9rk  has  been  foremost  in  its  vigorous  and  energetic 
campaign,  both  municipal  and  private,  against  the  ravages 
of  tuberculosis  and  we  are  confident  that  the  present  emer- 
gency can  and  will  be  met,  despite  the  financial  depression 
from  which  the  city  is  suflFering.  The  increasing  knowledge 
of  the  communicable  nature  of  the  disease,  adds  steadily  to 
the  number  of  those  who  are  willing  to  endure  the  separation 
and  isolation  of  institutional  life  in  order  to  remove  the 
danger  of  infection  to  their  relatives  and  friends.  The  de- 
mand for  hospital  care  is,  we  believe,  on  the  increase.  Be 
that  as  it  may,  the  present  situation,  it  appears  to  us,  demands 
careful  consideration  and  the  immediate  appropriation  of  funds 
for  the  relief  of  the  congested,  unsanitary  and  deplorable 
conditions  now  obtaining  in  the  city's  largest  tuberculosis 
hospital. 

In  the  year  1907  there  were  ten  thousand  two  hundred 
and  sixty-two  (10,262)  deaths  from  tuberculosis  in  this  city. 


56 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


There  are  to-day  to  the  knowledge  of  the  authorities  thirty- 
thousand  (30,000)  tuberculous  sick  living  in  the  tenement 
houses  and  spreading  this  disease,  infecting  well  persons,  and 
thus  greatly  decreasing  the  possibilities  of  stamping  out  the 
disease  and  seriously  increasing  the  ultimate  burden  to  the 
city  of  meeting  it.  The  proper  care  of  these  cases  is  in  hos- 
pitals and  sanatoria.  It  is  useless,  however,  for  us  and  for 
the  physicians  connected  with  the  tuberculosis  clinics  in  this 
city  to  urge  patients  to  go  to  hospitals  and  sanatoria  when 
there  is  no  place  for  them  in  those  hospitals,  or  when  they 
are  housed  and  cared  for  under  conditions  which  are  little 
better  than  the  conditions  in  the  tenement  houses  from  which 
they  are  removed. 

We  would  respectfully  request  that  you  appoint  a  day  on 
which  this  Committee  may  confer  with  you  in  regard  to  this 
important  matter  to  see  what  steps  can  be  taken  by  the  city 
to  remedy  the  present  situation. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

(Signed)  Edgar  J.  Levey, 
Chairman." 

Later  the  Committee  waited  upon  the  Mayor  and  urged  him 
to  use  every  means  to  remedy  this  situation.  Shortly  thereafter 
additional  appropriations  were  made  to  enable  the  Department 
of  Public  Charities  to  provide  additional  accommodations,  but  it 
is  in  this  particular  direction  that  our  most  important  work  in 
the  immediate  future  lies. 

The  experiment  undertaken  by  the  Committee  during  1906 
and  1907  of  treating  poor  consumptives  in  their  tenement  homes, 
and  the  administration  of  a  special  relief  fund  of  $33,496.40 
raised  for  this  purpose,  was  brought  to  a  successful  close  about 
the  beginning  of  the  present  fiscal  year.  The  results  of  this 
experiment  have  been  carefully  formulated  during  the  year  in 
a  report  of  forty-eight  printed  pages  published  early  in  the  win- 
ter. This  report  presented  for  the  first  time  the  possibilities 
involved  in  the  home  treatment  of  the  tuberculous  sick  in  New 
York's  crowded  tenements.  Six  thousand  copies  of  the  report 
were  distributed;  2,500  copies  were  sent  to  leading  physicians 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  57 

in  Manhattan  and  the  Bronx,  and  the  rest  to  leading  social 
v/orkers,  the  members  of  the  National  Association  for  the  Study 
and  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis,  members  of  various  anti-tuber- 
culosis associations  and  committees  throughout  the  United  States, 
and  to  leading  physicians  and  officers  of  tuberculosis  hospitals 
and  sanatoria  in  this  state.  The  report  sets  forth  in  considerable 
detail  the  results  accomplished,  during  a  period  of  nearly  two 
years,  in  treating  poor  consumptives  in  their  homes. 

TUBERCULOSIS   AMONG  WORI\INGMEN 

Very  naturally  and  properly,  the  main  emphasis  has  been 
placed  upon  the  home  conditions  affecting  tuberculosis.  Increas- 
ingly, however,  the  importance  of  the  conditions  under  which  peo- 
ple work  is  being  recognized.  Under  the  direction  of  a  competent 
physician,  the  Committee  has  carried  on  a  thorough  inquiry  into 
the  physical  condition  of  a  given  number  of  workers  in  one 
industry,  namely,  the  printing  trade.  Through  co-operation  with 
the  Tuberculosis  Committee  of  Typographical  Union  No.  6 — the 
leading  printers'  union — arrangements  were  made  for  the  physical 
examination  of  over  two  hundred  non-selected  members  of  this 
union  for  the#purpose  of  discovering  the  extent  to  which  tuber- 
culosis existed  among  them  and  the  relation  of  the  disease  to 
the  conditions  under  which  printers  work.  A  similar  inquiry 
has  been  carried  on  with  a  number  of  workers  in  the  tobacco 
trade,  and  the  results  of  these  two  investigations  are  now  being 
formulated  and  will  soon  be  published. 

BOVINE  TUBERCULOSIS 

A  very  important  investigation  has  been  made  during  the 
year  under  the  auspices  of  the  Committee  with  regard  to  the 
prevalence  of  bovine  tuberculosis  in  this  state.  Prof.  Veranus 
A.  Moore,  of  Cornell  Agricultural  College,  an  eminent  au- 
thority on  this  subject,  was  employed  by  the  Committee  joint- 


5S  REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 

ly  with  the  Milk  Committee  of  the  Association  for  Improving 
the  Condition  of  the  Poor,  to  make  a  thorough  inquiry  into 
this  matter.  The  inquiry  was  completed  during  the  year  and 
Dr.  Moore's  report  published  and  a  thousand  copies  dis- 
tributed among  farmers,  cattle  raisers  and  others  who  should 
be  interested.  It  has  attracted  widespread  attention  and  has 
been  of  great  value  in  educating  the  community  with  reference 
to  this  disease.  The  report  contains  a  study  of  the  distribu- 
tion and  extent  of  bovine  tuberculosis  and  the  peculiar  con- 
ditions which  exist  in  New  York  state;  a  brief  statement  of 
the  economic  and  sanitary  problems  connected  with  the  dis- 
ease; the  attitude  of  the  farmers  and  cattle  raisers  towards 
its  eradication ;  a  summary  of  the  laws  in  this  and  other  states 
and  certain  definite  legislative  recommendations.  Working 
through  a  joint  committee  composed  of  members  of  the 
Tuberculosis  Committee,  the  Milk  Committee  of  the  Associ- 
ation for  Improving  the  Condition  of  the  Poor,  and  later  the 
Tuberculosis  Committee  of  the  State  Charities  Aid  Associa- 
tion, the  Committee  formulated  a  carefully  drawn  bill  for 
the  regulation  of  bovine  tuberculosis  and  took  the  lead  in  an 
active  campaign  for  legislation  seeking  to  remedy  the  condi- 
tions disclosed  by  Dr.  Moore's  report.  The  bill  prepared  by 
this  joint  committee  served  as  a  basis  for  important  legisla- 
tion enacted  at  the  1908  session  of  the  Legislature,  and  the 
Committee  took  an  active  part  in  organizing  conferences  of 
legislative  leaders,  farmers,  dairymen,  cattle  breeders,  and 
the  various  other  interests  involved  in  this  important  sub- 
ject. The  amendment  to  the  agricultural  laws  of  the  state 
which  was  adopted  by  the  Legislature  marks  a  distinct  ad- 
vance in  the  treatment  of  bovine  tuberculosis  in  this  country. 

TE-NEMENT   HOUSi:  REFORM 

The  work  of  the  Tenement  House  Committee  during  the 
past  year  has  been,  in  the  main,  as  in  previous  years,  along 
the  lines  of  the  prevention  of  legislation  that  would  weaken 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  59 

the  provisions  of  the  present  Tenement  House  Laws  and  the 
securing  of  legislation  necessary  to  their  improvement. 

Not  only  has  it  been  necessary  at  each  session  of  the  Leg- 
islature since  the  enactment  of  this  statute  seven  years  ago, 
to  withstand  numerous  attacks  upon  its  provisions — all  of 
which  have  been  successfully  withstood — but  in  other  insidi- 
ous ways  efforts  have  been  made  to  undermine  its  provisions. 

One  of  the  cleverest  schemes  of  this  kind  has  been  recent- 
ly carried  out  chiefly  in  the  boroughs  of  Queens  and  Brook- 
lyn. Here  for  a  year  past  certain  architects  and  builders  have 
hit  upon  a  device  by  which  they  have  been  able  for  a  time  to 
set  aside  the  main  provisions  of  the  law  requiring  that  all 
rooms  in  new  tenement  houses  shall  have  windows  to  the 
outer  air,  thus  ensuring  adequate  light  and  ventilation.  Their 
method  has  been  as  follows: 

Plans  have  been  filed  for  new  tenement  houses  (as  shown 
in  the  accompanying  plan  No.  i)  with  two  families  on  each 
floor,  one  on  each  side  of  the  public  hallway.  Each  flat  con- 
sists of  but  two  rooms,  a  "parlor"  and  a  "kitchen."  The 
"parlor"  is  a  long  room,  twenty-eight  feet  long,  seven  and 
one-half  feet  wide  for  about  one-half  of  its  length  and  nine 
and  one-half  feet  wide  in  the  remaining  portion.  The  "kitchen" 
is  a  similar 'long  room,  thirty-four  feet  long,  seven  and 
one-half  feet  for  one-half  of  its  length  and  eleven  and  one-half 
feet  wide  for  the  other  half.  Opening  from  the  "kitchen"  is 
a  bathroom.  There  are  no  bedrooms.  On  the  opposite  side 
of  the  public  hallway  is  an  exactly  similar  flat  of  "two  rooms" 
intended  for  occupancy  by  a  separate  family.  Anyone  familiar 
with  tenement  house  conditions  realizes  at  once  that  there  is 
something  peculiar  about  this  plan ;  that  it  is  not  a  bona  fide 
apartment;  that  builders  are  not  making  kitchens  thirty- 
four  feet  long  and  eleven  and  one-half  feet  wide;  that  such 
kitchens  are  a  great  deal  larger  than  need  be — in  fact,  twice 
as  large  as  is  customary;  that  the  parlors,  too,  are  twice  as 
large  as  is  customary  or  necessary.    The  question  that  nat- 


6o 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


urally  occurs  is:  "Of  what  use  is  a  tenement  without  any 
bedrooms?  Where  are  the  people  going  to  sleep?"  Those 
familiar  with  the  tricks  and  devices  that  are  practiced  by 
some  tenement  house  builders  and  architects  are  led  to  believe 
that  it  is  evidently  intended  after  the  house  is  erected  to  sub- 
divide both  the  ''parlor"  and  the  "kitchen"  by  the  erection 
of  partitions  or  curtains,  creating  behind  each  of  these  rooms 
bedrooms  seven  and  one-half  feet  wide  and  thirteen  feet  long. 
These  bedrooms  unfortunately  thus  become  dark  interior  bed- 
rooms without  light  or  ventilation,  defeating  the  main  pur- 
pose of  the  Tenement  House  Act. 

That  this  is  not  a  theoretical  view  and  that  the  persons  hold- 
ing it  are  not  too  suspicious  is  borne  out  by  the  experience 
in  Brooklyn  and  Queens,  where  building  after  building  of 
this  kind  has  been  erected.  After  the  building  is  completed 
a  kitchen  "wardrobe"  or  "dresser"  is  erected  in  each  kitchen,, 
subdividing  the  kitchen  into  two  rooms.  Each  "parlor"  is 
similarly  subdivided  with  grill  work,  a  curtain  pole  erected 
and  a  portiere  stretched  across.  Two  dark  bedrooms  in  each 
flat  are  thus  created, — as  shown  in  plan  No.  2.  So  well  thought 
out  has  been  this  scheme  to  beat  the  law  that  in  some 
houses  the  owners  have  even  gone  to  the  extent  of  hinging 
the  wardrobes  so  that,  when  confronted  by  the  officials  of 
the  Tenement  House  Department,  they  may  be  able  to  swing 
the  "wardrobe"  back  against  the  kitchen  wall  and  say:  "This 
is  not  an  alteration  to  the  building,  but  merely  a  piece  of  fur- 
niture which  we  can  move  from  place  to  place,"  adding, 
"There  is  nothing  in  the  law  to  prevent  the  use  of  furniture." 

The  conditions  resulting  from  this  situation  are  compli- 
cated by  the  fact  that  the  great  mass  of  tenement  houses  in 
New  York  city  are  built  on  speculation  and  when  completed 
are  sold  to  innocent  purchasers.  The  purchaser  finding  that 
the  builder  has  a  certificate  from  the  Tenement  House  De- 
partment that  the  building  has  been  built  according  to  law 
and    in    accordance  with  the  plans    (such  certificate  having 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  6l 

been  granted  before  any  partition,  wardrobe  or  curtain  has 
been  erected)  and  finding  the  wardrobe  and  curtains  in  place 
and  a  family  occupying  each  apartment  as  four  separate 
rooms,  naturally  assumes  that  everything  is  all  right  and  does 
not  hesitate  to  purchase  the  property.  The  Tenement  House 
Department  having  made  a  final  inspection  of  the  building 
and  issued  a  certificate  naturally  has  nothing  to  call  to  its 
attention  the  fact  that  these  changes  have  been  made  after 


PLAN  No.  1.  PLAN  No.  2. 


6a 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


the  building  has  been  completed.  The  force  of  inspectors  is 
of  course  totally  inadequate  to  enable  the  department  to  in- 
spect a  newly  finished  tenement  house  one  month  after  it  is 
completed  and  to  keep  inspecting  it  each  succeeding  month. 
Nothing  short  of  an  army  of  men  would  be  needed  to  carry 
on  such  frequent  inspections  in  New  York's  100,000  tenement 
houses ;  nor  should  such  inspections  be  necessary. 

In  addition  to  this  method  of  constructing  exceptionally 
large  rooms  and  later  subdividing  them,  the  same  builders 
and  architects  claim  that  the  inner  portions  of  these  rooms 
are  in  the  nature  of  alcoves  and  that  they  have  the  right  to 
construct  a  room  with  an  alcove  in  it;  that  there  is  nothing 
in  the  law  which  forbids  it.  The  law  provides  that  "alcove 
rooms  must  conform  to  all  the  requirements  of  other  rooms," 
which  had  seemed  to  the  framers  of  the  law  sufficiently  compre- 
hensive and  explicit  to  ensure  the  proper  lighting  and  ventilation 
of  such  rooms  and  their  construction  of  a  proper  size. 

Owing  to  the  refusal  of  Tenement  House  Commissioner 
Butler  to  approve  plans  of  this  type,  which  had  seemed  to 
him  obviously  intended  to  nullify  the  provisions  of  the  law, 
there  have  been  several  cases  during  the  past  year  in  which 
proceedings  have  been  instituted  in  various  branches  of  the 
Supreme  Court  to  compel  the  tenement  house  commissioner 
to  approve  this  type  of  plan.  Various  conflicting  decisions 
have  been  rendered  by  different  judges.  The  latest  and  most 
important  one  was  the  decision  of  Judge  Gaynor,  in  which 
he  held  that  the  department  was  in  error  and  that  such  plans 
must  be  approved;  that  it  had  not  been  the  intent  of  the  Leg- 
islature to  require  alcoves  to  be  separately  lighted  and  ven- 
tilated to  the  outer  air;  that  the  provisions  of  the  Tenement 
House  Act  above  referred  to  did  not  relate  to  alcoves  but  to 
alcove  rooms ;  that  an  alcove  was  a  portion  of  a  room,  where- 
as an  alcove  room  was  a  separate  room  in  itself.  For  a 
period  of  several  months,  consequently,  owing  to  this  court 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  63 

decision,  it  has  been  possible  for  builders  to  construct  this 
type  of  structure,  and  the  Tenement  House  Department  has 
been  powerless  to  prevent  it. 

Recognizing  the  great  importance  of  preventing  any  such 
manifest  evasion  of  the  law^,  w^ith  the  co-operation  of  Tene- 
ment House  Commissioner  Butler  the  Tenement  House  Com- 
mittee prepared  amendments  to  the  Tenement  House  Act  which 
it  is  believed  will  put  an  end  to  this  practice.  These  amend- 
ments were  included  in  a  bill  amending  the  law  in  other  par- 
ticulars and  introduced  toward  the  close  of  the  present  ses- 
sion. The  passage  of  this  measure  by  the  Legislature  was 
secured  and  the  bill  was  signed  by  Governor  Hughes.  It  is 
now  a  law. 

The  amendment  clears  up  any  doubt  that  there  may  have 
been  with  reference  to  the  distinction  between  alcoves  and 
alcove  rooms  and  makes  plain  that  an  alcove  in  any  room  in 
a  tenement  house  hereafter  erected  shall  be  separately  lighted 
and  ventilated  with  windows  to  the  outer  air  and  shall  not 
be  less  than  seventy  square  feet  in  area,  the  minimum  size 
provided  for  all  rooms.  It  also  provides  that  no  part  of  any 
room  in  such  a  tenement  house  shall  at  any  time  be  enclosed 
or  subdivide^  wholly  or  in  part  by  a  curtain,  portiere,  fixed 
or  movable  partition  or  other  contrivance  or  device,  unless 
the  portion  of  the  room  so  enclosed  shall  contain  a  window 
to  the  outer  air  and  a  floor  area  of  not  less  than  seventy 
square  feet.  This  amendment  in  no  sense  prohibits  the  alcove 
treatment  of  rooms.  It  does,  however,  prohibit  dark  alcoves 
and  provides  that  all  alcoves  shall  have  windows  to  the  outer 
air  and  be  of  a  proper  size 

It  is  believed  that  by  this  change  in  the  law  an  end  has 
been  put  to  the  organized  scheme  of  evading  its  essential 
provisions  which  has  been  so  successfully  carried  on  in  the  bor- 
oughs of  Brooklyn  and  Queens  during  the  past  year,  and  that 
the  "curtain  flat,"  as  this  type  of  building  had  come  to  be 
called,  will  no  longer  exist.

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


That  it  should  be  necessary  in  the  year  1908,  seven  years 
after  the  passage  of  the  Tenement  House  Act  and  notwith- 
standing the  care  of  the  framers  of  that  law  to  provide  against 
such  contingencies,  to  make  active  effort  to  prevent  the  con- 
struction of  dark  rooms  in  new  tenement  houses,  to  prevent 
practically  a  recurrence  to  the  discredited  type  of  building 
of  sixty  years  ago,  is  one  more  illustration  of  the  importance 
of  continuity  and  permanency  in  all  effort  for  housing  reform 
in  every  community. 

During  the  year  the  Committee  has  had  to  oppose  various 
bills  introduced  in  the  Legislature  seeking  to  weaken  the 
Tenement  House  Law.  As  in  past  years  all  of  these  have 
been  successfully  defeated.  One  of  them  would  have  with- 
drawn from  the  scope  of  the  Tenement  House  Act  and  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  Tenement  House  Department  a  large  num- 
ber of  the  three-family  houses  of  the  city,  of  which  in  1900 
there  were  nearly  23,000,  occupied  by  about  68,000  families, 
or  approximately  338,000  persons.  It  would  have  meant  that 
these  could  have  been  left  without  water  supply  in  the  build- 
ing, with  unlawful  basement  living  and  sleeping  rooms,  with- 
out proper  fire  protection  and  with  the  tenants  subjected  to 
the  close  proximity  of  prostitutes  in  the  same  building.  In 
a  word,  they  would  have  lost  all  of  the  safeguards  to  life, 
health  and  decency  which  the  Tenement  House  Law  now 
provides. 

Another  bill  would  have  created  a  Board  of  Appeal  with 
power  to  modify  and  set  aside  all  of  the  provisions  of  the 
Tenement  House  Act  that  require  changes  or  alterations  in 
existing  buildings.  Such  a  measure,  if  enacted,  would  have 
practically  nullified  the  important  provisions  of  the  present 
law  which  require  improvements  in  the  old  buildings,  includ- 
ing the  cutting  in  of  windows  in  dark  rooms,  the  letting  of 
light  into  dark  hallways  and  the  removal  of  foul  privies  and 
privy  sinks  and  the  substitution  of  proper  sanitary  conveni- 
ences.   A  third  bill  would  have  permitted  the  use  for  living 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  65 

and  sleeping  purposes  of  dark,  damp,  unventilated  interior 
rooms  in  the  cellars  of  tenement  houses.  A  fourth  measure 
would  have  allowed  the  use  of  bakeries  in  the  cellars  of  tene- 
ment houses  under  conditions  that  would  have  been  a  serious 
menace  to  the  safety  of  the  families  living  in  the  building. 

As  a  means  of  determining  the  degree  of  rapidity  with 
which  the  Tenement  House  Department  was  securing  the 
enforcement  of  the  law,  in  the  way  of  structural  improvement 
of  the  old  houses,  i.  e.,  the  letting  of  light  in  dark  rooms  and 
halls,  the  removal  of  antiquated  privy  sinks  and  similar 
changes,  an  investigation  was  made  of  each  house  in  the  so- 
called  *'Lung  Block",  namely,  the  block  bounded  by  Cherry, 
Hamilton,  Market  and  Catharine  Streets.  The  investigation 
disclosed  a  condition  which  was  extremely  satisfactory,  prac- 
tically all  the  changes  required  by  law  having  been  made  in 
this  formerly  notorious  section  of  the  city. 

The  Tenement  House  Committee  has  been  responsible  for 
the  direction  and  planning  of  the  housing  investigation  in 
Pittsburgh  carried  on  as  part  of  the  general  social  inquiry 
known  as  the  Pittsburgh  Survey.  Personal  reviews  of  the 
field  have  been  made  by  the  Director  of  the  Department  for 
the  Improvement  of  Social  Conditions  and  the  Secretary  of 
the  Committee,  and  the  inquiry  has  been  carried  on  by  a 
special  investigator,  temporaril}^  detailed  from  the  service  of 
the  Committee.  As  a  result  of  this  investigation  and  of  the 
campaign  carried  on  by  the  Pittsburgh  Survey,  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce,  the  Bureau  of  Health,  Kingsley  House  and 
others,  very  satisfactory  results  have  been  accomplished.  The 
appropriation  for  the  work  of  the  local  Bureau  of  Health  has 
been  largely  increased,  additional  inspectors  have  been  ap- 
pointed, a  better  system  of  office  records  has  been  introduced, 
a  tenement  house  census  has  been  made  and  other  improve- 
ments have  been  brought  about.  One  of  the  prominent  steel 
companies  in  Pittsburgh,  we  are  informed,  is  planning  and 


^  >-      REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 

has  already  begun  work  on  improvements  as  a  result  of  facts 
brought  out  by  this  investigation. 

A  special  investigation  in  co-operation  w^ith  the  Tenement 
House  Commissioner  and  the  Commissioner  of  Labor  has 
been  made  of  a  number  of  tenement  house  bakeries  in  New 
York  city,  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  collecting  definite  and 
conclusive  evidence  as  to  existing  conditions  for  use  in  op- 
posing objectionable  bills  amending  the  Tenement  House  Law 
with  reference  to  bakeries. 

The  enforcement  of  the  Tenement  House  Law  in  this 
city  has  been  closely  watched.  During  the  years  1906-1907 
there  has  been  a  great  improvement  in  the  progress  of  the 
structural  changes  required  by  law  in  the  old  houses.  In  1907 
over  13,000  dark  rooms  were  provided  with  windows  as  the 
result  of  the  Tenement  House  Department's  work.  In  all, 
about  25,000  rooms  have  been  provided  with  windows  to  ad- 
joining rooms  up  to  January  i,  1908,  while  over  300,000  rooms 
are  still  without  such  prov'sion.  A  campaign  to  secure  the 
rapid  completion  of  the  structural  improvements  is  urgently 
needed  and  work  to  this  end  has  already  been  instituted  by 
the  Committee.  The  Committee  has  also  kept  in  touch  with 
the  development  of  new  tenement  building  in  this  city.  The 
extent  of  new  building  operations  since  the  passage  of  the 
law  has  been  extraordinary.  Accommodations  for  over  one 
million  persons  have  been  provided  in  new  law  tenements 
since  the  passage  of  the  Tenement  House  Act  in  1900.  This 
means  that  the  Act  has  secured  for  one-quarter  of  the  entire 
population  of  the  city  living  accommodations  in  houses  that 
are  equal  to  the  "model"  tenements  in  the  essential  particu- 
lars of  adequate  light  and  ventilation,  proper  sanitary  con- 
veniences, reasonable  protection  against  fire  and  opportunities 
for  privacy. 

The  Committee  has  also  carried  on  a  large  amount  of 
educational  work.  This  year  for  the  first  time  a  series  of 
•fisits  has  been  organized  to  typical  tenement  houses,  illus- 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  67 

trating  old  and  new  conditions.  By  this  means  at  various 
times  a  considerable  number  of  persons  have  been  shown  con- 
ditions illustrating  the  housing  problems  of  the  city.  Some 
of  these  were  delegates  to  the  Conference  held  in  connection 
with  the  Twenty-fifth  Anniversary  of  this  Society,  others 
were  members  of  the  School  of  Philanthropy,  and  others  per- 
sons from  other  cities  in  this  country  and  abroad  interested 
in  profiting  by  the  experience  of  New  York.  The  visitors 
are  taken  in  small  groups,  and  a  summary  embodying  the 
facts  is  given  to  them. 

Lectures  on  housing  have  been  delivered  before  the  Good 
Citizenship  League  of  Flushing,  at  the  Elmhurst  High  School, 
and  at  the  Corona  High  School.  As  a  result  of  the  address 
given  in  Flushing,  the  Good  Citizenship  League  at  once 
planned  the  organization  of  a  Tenement  House  Committee 
for  work  in  Flushing.  A  short  address  on  Tenement  House 
Legislation  was  also  given  before  the  Woman's  Municipal 
League  of  New  York  and  a  lecture  on  Tenement  Improve- 
ment at  the  Church  of  the  Ascension. 

In  connection  with  the  Congestion  Exhibit  held  in  the 
American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  March  9-29,  and  later 
continued  in  Brooklyn  at  the  Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
building,  the  'Tenement  House  Committee  in  co-operation 
with  the  Committee  on  the  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis  pre- 
pared a  general  exhibit,  including  a  considerable  amount  of 
material  relating  to  the  Tenement  House  problem.  Models 
of  a  block  of  existing  tenement  houses,  a  block  of  typical 
dumb-bell  tenements,  a  block  of  new-law  tenements,  a  dark 
bedroom  and  a  light  bedroom  were  shown ;  also  a  large  num- 
ber of  photographs  of  housing  conditions  and  typical  scenes 
in  tenement  districts  and  a  variety  of  charts,  diagrams  and 
maps.  The  Exhibit  was  seen  by  practically  all  the  thousands 
of  persons  who  visited  the  exhibition. 

The  Committee  printed  and  distributed  at  the  Exhibit 
10.000  copies  each  of  two  folders :    ''Three  Tenement  Blocks"'

68  "     REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 

and  "The  Tenement  House  Committee  and  Its  Work"  con- 
taining information  regarding  progress  in  tenement  reform. 
The  Committee  also  printed  for  distribution,  independently 
of  the  Congestion  Exhibit,  i,ooo  copies  of  a  map  showing 
the  location  of  new-law  tenements  constructed  in  the  Borough 
of  Manhattan. 

Work  has  been  begun  upon  the  preparation  of  a  perma- 
nent tenement  house  exhibition  which,  when  completed,  will 
be  open  in  our  offices  during  business  hours. 

During  the  year  housing  articles  and  notes  have  been  writ- 
ten or  edited  for  Charities  and  The  Commons,  and  a  large 
amount  of  material  has  been  furnished  for  newspaper  and 
magazine  articles  and  for  lectures  on  tenement  conditions. 

A  letter  and  question  blank,  asking  suggestions  as  to 
changes  in  existing  tenement  laws  and  other  recommendations 
for  further  progress  in  tenement  house  reform,  have  been 
sent  out  to  481  persons,  from  whom  a  number  of  replies  have 
been  tabulated  and  taken  under  consideration. 

A  circular  for  tenement  dwellers,  containing  a  summary 
of  important  provisions  of  the  Tenement  House  Law  and 
other  information  of  use,  has  been  prepared  for  distribution 
on  request. 

The  Tenement  House  Committee  has  served  throughout 
the  entire  period  as  a  bureau  of  information  upon  tenement 
house  matters.  Personal  consultations  and  letters  of  inquiry 
have  been  very  frequent.  Information  has  been  supplied  on 
organization  of  committees  and  societies  for  tenement  im- 
provement, on  tenement  legislation  as  adapted  to  various 
cities,  on  inventions  and  improvements  suggested  for  better- 
ing living  conditions  in  tenement  houses,  in  regard  to  housing 
bills  introduced  in  the  Legislature,  and  a  great  variety  of 
other  matters.  The  Committee  has  been  consulted  in  regard 
to  nearly  every  movement  for  improved  housing  throughout 
the  country,  and  it  has  been  in  active  co-operation  with  work

Cleveland,  Cincinnati,  San  Francisco,  Baltimore,  and  in  such 
smaller  cities  as  Brockton,  Massachusetts,  Englewood,  New- 
Jersey.  The  widespread  interest  in  housing  improvement 
throughout  the  country  is  most  encouraging.  In  almost  every 
state  in  the  union  housing  and  sanitar}^  reform  is  under  considera- 
tion by  one  or  more  communities. 

One  of  the  most  important  pieces  of  work  done  by  the 
Committee  during  the  year  has  been  the  active  campaign 
carried  on  to  secure  for  the  Tenement  House  Department  an 
increased  appropriation  for  the  year  1909,  sufficient  to  enable  it  to 
carry  out  the  more  important  provisions  of  the  Tenement 
House  Law  which  are  now  neglected  owing  to  lack  of  funds. 

The  Committee  has  carried  on  a  campaign  to  bring  home 
to  the  members  of  the  community  the  importance  of  the 
work  that  still  needs  to  be  done  by  the  Tenement  House  De- 
partment, and  has  made  evident  to  the  Board  of  Estimate 
and  Apportionment  the  needs  of  the  Department  in  this  re- 
gard. In  this  connection  an  elaborate  exhibit  was  prepared 
by  the  Committee  and  shown  at  the  Budget  Exhibit,  organ- 
ized by  the  Taxpayers'  Conference  and  Bureau  of  Municipal 
Research  and  held  at  the  close  of  the  present  fiscal  year.  This 
exhibit  was  pjjepared  to  show  the  reasons  in  detail  for  the 
necessary  increases  in  the  appropriation  of  the  Tenement 
House  Department.  Tenement  House  Commissioner  Butler 
had  requested  of  the  Board  of  Estimate  and  Apportionment 
an  increase  of  $184,000.  The  reasons  for  this  increase  were 
fully  set  forth  by  the  Committee  with  photographs,  models 
and  charts  showing  the  uses  to  which  the  money  was 
to  be  put.  Of  this  amount  $64,000  was  to  be  devoted  to 
enabling  the  Department  to  compel  owmers  to  get  rid  more 
rapidly  of  the  dark  interior  bedrooms  and  privy  sinks  and  to 
make  the  other  structural  improvements  necessary  in  the 
older  houses.  Ninety-five  thousand  one  hundred  dollars  was 
requested  to  enable  the  Department  to  make  a  complete  san- 
itary inspection  twice  a  year  in  tenement  houses  where  the 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


average  rental  for  the  apartment  is  $25  a  month  or  less,  and 
the  remainder  of  the  appropriation  was  for  desirable  salary  in- 
creases and  supplies.  As  a  result  of  the  campaign  all  but  $15,100 
of  the  increase  asked  for  was  appropriated,  making  an  increase 
of  $169,000  over  the  amount  allowed  for  the  preceding  year. 

INVESTIGATION   OF   CRIMINAL  COURTS 

One  of  the  important  pieces  of  work  which  the  department 
has  done  during  the  year  has  been  in  connection  with  the 
administration  of  justice  in  the  inferior  criminal  courts.  Under 
the  leadership  of  this  department,  in  co-operation  with  one 
other  organization,  viz. :  the  Committee  of  Fourteen  on  the 
Raines  Law  Hotels,  a  movement  has  been  set  on  foot  for  the 
thorough  investigation  and  study  of  the  conditions  which  pre- 
vail in  the  so-called  ''Police  Courts"  and  the  Court  of  Special 
Sessions,  not  only  in  the  city  of  New  York  but  in  Buffalo 
and  Rochester  as  well.  These  courts  stand  to  the  poor  peo- 
ple, and  especially  the  large  mass  of  the  immigrant  popula- 
tion, not  only  as  the  visible  manifestation  of  justice  in  Amer- 
ica, but  indeed,  as  American  institutions.  It  is  from  their 
contact  with  them  and  with  the  police  that  our  tenement 
population  obtain  their  main  concepts  as  to  what  American 
government  is.  The  magnitude  of  the  problems  involved 
may  be  appreciated  when  it  is  known  that  during  the  year 
1907  the  number  of  arraignments  in  all  the  Magistrates'  Courts, 
including  those  brought  before  the  Court  of  Special  Sessions  in 
the  first  division  alone,  namely,  Manhattan  and  the  Bronx,  was 
149494. 

Owing  to  the  lack  of  a  proper  system  of  records  the  action 
of  the  magistrates  is  determined  at  the  present  day  largely 
by  the  memory  or  personal  recollection  of  the  officer  upon 
the  bridge  or  the  probation  officer  in  court,  as  to  the  previous 
record  of  the  offender.  The  possibilities  for  oppression,  error 
and  corruption  that  are  afforded  by  such  a  method  are  too 
obvious  to  need  comment.     As  a  result  of  this  defect  alone 


DEPARTMENT  FOR  IMPROVEMENT  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS  7I 

our  present  system  of  treating  minor  offenders  is  little  better 
than  a  farce.  Women  of  the  street  are  arrested,  arraigned, 
fined  and  discharged,  rearrested  and  again  fined,  and  this 
course  repeated  endlessly  throughout  the  year.  Old  offenders 
are  one  week  sent  to  the  Workhouse  by  one  magistrate  and 
two  weeks  later,  in  the  same  court,  rearrested  for  a  similar 
offense,  are  then  put  on  probation ;  perhaps  a  week  later  are 
again  arrested  and  this  time  either  fined  or  discharged.  There 
is  no  proper  system  at  the  present  time  of  classifying  offenses 
for  which  people  are  arraigned.  Most  of  the  women  arrested 
for  soliciting  or  street  walking  are  arraigned  under  the  charge 
of  disorderly  conduct,  which  is  the  same  charge  on  which  a 
man  is  arrested  for  creating  a  disturbance  in  the  streets.  The 
result  is  that  the  statistics  of  these  courts  do  not  disclose  the 
facts.  In  addition,  the  system  of  record  keeping  is  so  im- 
perfect that  it  is  not  possible  to  tell  how  many  different  indi- 
viduals are  arraigned  during  the  year.  All  that  is  known  is 
the  total  number  of  arraignments  and  many  of  the  persons  rep- 
resented may  have  been  arraigned  a  great  many  times. 

A  bill  authorizing  the  appointment  of  a  commission  to 
make  a  thorough  study  of  this  whole  subject,  the  methods  of 
procedure,  the  system  of  records,  the  condition  of  the  court 
houses,  and  afl  other  matters  bearing  on  the  subject,  was 
prepared  on  behalf  of  the  Society  and  introduced  in  the  Legis- 
lature and  passed.  As  originally  introduced  the  commission 
was  to  be  a  commission  of  citizens  appointed  by  the  Governor. 
The  bill  was,  however,  amended  in  the  Legislature  so  as  to 
provide  that  the  commission  should  be  composed  of  three 
members  of  the  Assembly  appointed  by  the  Speaker ;  two 
senators  appointed  by  the  president  pro  tem.  of  the  Senate; 
and  two  citizens  appointed  by  the  Governor.  Shortly  after 
the  adjournment  of  the  Legislature  these  appointments  were 
made  by  the  Speaker  and  the  president  pro  tem.  of  the  Senate 
respectively,  and  the  Governor  subsequently  made  his  appoint- 
ments. 


THE  nb:w  yorh  school  of  philanthropy 


The  work  of  the  School,  conducted  under  the  general  super- 
vision of  the  Committee  on  Philanthropic  Education  and  the  per- 
sonal direction  of  Dr.  Samuel  McCune  Lindsay,  may  be  con- 
sidered in  three  divisions:  (i)  The  School  proper  or  the  Depart- 
ment of  Instruction;  (2)  The  Bureau  of  Social  Research  on  the 
Russell  Sage  Foundation;  (3)  The  Public  Sociological  Library. 

THE  di:pu^.rtme:nt  or  instruction 

The  School  has  had  the  most  successful  year  in  its  history 
both  with  respect  to  the  number  of  students  enrolled  and  to  the 
scope  and  character  of  the  work  they  have  done.  The  purpose 
of  the  School  is  to  fit  men  and  women  for  social  service  in  either 
professional  or  volunteer  work.  Two  sessions  were  held  during 
the  fiscal  year. 

The  winter  session  of  eight  months  began  September  28,  1907, 
and  closed  May  29,  1908,  being  divided  into  two  terms  of  four 
months  each.  In  each  term  there  were  fifteen  weeks  of  lectures, 
with  an  average  of  twelve  per  week  or  approximately  180  lectures 
per  term,  followed  by  one  week  at  the  close  of  each  term  devoted 
to  written  examinations.  The  lectures  were  divided  into  groups 
as  follows: 

A.  Survey  of  the  field :  principles,  theories,  methods  of  general 
application  (122  lectures). 

1.  The  Labor  Problem :  30  lectures  by  Prof.  Henry  R.  Seager

and  Commissioner  (of  Charities)  Robert  W.  Hebberd. 

Forty-one  students  were  enrolled  for  the  full  work  of  the 
year,  twenty-six  of  this  number  being  regular  students  who  were 
either  college  graduates  or  had  had  the  equivalent  of  a  high  school 
education  and  considerable  experience  (in  every  case  over  one 
year)  in  professional  social  work.  The  other  fifteen  were  special 
students  whose  entrance  qualifications  were  deficient.  Twenty 
additional  students  were  enrolled  as  auditors  taking  part  or  all 
of  the  courses  but  not  candidates  for  either  the  diploma  or  the 
certificate  of  the  School.  These  sixty-one  students  (47  women 
and  14  men)  came  from  forty-one  cities  or  towns,  and  repre- 
sented fifteen  states,  Canada  and  England.  Twenty-four  were 
college  graduates  and  nine  others  had  had  college  training; 
twenty-three  had  had  previous  experience  in  social  work. 

With  the  exception  of  a  few  individual  cases  where  previous 
work  of  a  similar  character  or  conflict  of  roster  was  accepted 
by  the  Director  as  an  excuse,  all  the  regular  and  special  students 
were  required  to  take  all  of  the  lectures  in  groups  A  to  D  inclusive, 
^g'g'i'egating  250  lectures,  and  to  attend  a  class  conference  or

review  exercise  each  week,  go  on  the  weekly  excursion  or  visit 
of  the  School  to  some  institution  or  agency  of  philanthropic  work 
in  or  near  New  York  City,  spend  12  hours  a  week  for  eight 
weeks  in  office  work  and  visiting  of  families  under  the  direction 
of  the  Central  Office  or  of  one  of  the  district  offices  of  the  Charity 
Organization  Society,  and  a  like  amount  of  time  (12  hours  per 
week)  for  a  further  period  of  16  weeks  in  practice  or  field  work 
either  in  investigation,  visiting  families,  or  office  work  under  the 
supervision  of  some  approved  agency  or  society,  and  the  prepara- 
tion of  a  thesis  or  full  report  on  some  approved  subject  of  indi- 
vidual study  pursued  under  the  personal  direction  of  the  Director, 
Associate  Directors,  or  a  lecturer  in  the  School.  The  satisfactory 
completion  of  this  program  of  work  fully  occupied  the  entire 
time  of  each  student  and  in  the  case  of  twenty-eight  of  the  year's 
students  resulted  in  securing  the  diploma  or  the  certificate  of  the 
School.  Several  others  had  to  postpone  part  of  the  work  re- 
quired and  hope  to  complete  the  course  during  the  following  year. 

THE  SUMMER  SESSION 

The  Summer  session  of  six  weeks  began  June  15  and  ended 
July  24  and  was  conducted  under  the  personal  direction  of  Asso- 
ciate Director  Dr.  Carl  Kelsey.  The  program  of  study  was  planned 
primarily  for  experienced  professional  workers  who  might  be 
willing  to  spend  their  vacation  in  study  and  conference  for 
mutual  improvement  in  methods  of  work  and  enlargement  of 
view.  Recent  college  graduates,  beginners  and  others  without 
experience  in  social  work  were  advised  to  take  the  work  of  the 
Winter  session.  The  class  numbered  78,  62  women  and  16  men, 
which  overtaxed  the  seating  capacity  of  the  School  and  library 
rooms  and  would  have  been  very  difficult  to  handle  in  the  class 
room  and  on  the  class  excursions  had  it  not  been  for  the  enthu- 
siasm and  earnestness  of  mature  students  who  co-operated  in 
every  way  with  the  officers  of  the  School  and  patiently  endured 
many  personal  inconveniences  in  their  efforts  to  help  one  another. 

The  program  included  one  formal  lecture  each  day,  thirty  in

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


all,  on  as  many  different  topics,  given  by  thirty  different  lecturers 
who  represented  the  leading  activities  in  philanthropic  work  and 
many  of  whom  were  themselves  recognized  leaders  of  national 
reputation  in  their  respective  fields  of  work.  Informal  class 
discussion  either  preceded  or  followed  each  of  these  lectures  and 
was  led  by  a  class  leader  who  took  charge  of  the  class  for  a  period 
of  one  week.  Fifteen  additional  lectures  were  given  in  courses 
of  three  to  five  lectures  on  fundamental  topics  and  fifteen  visits 
were  made  to  institutions  or  charitable  agencies  in  or  near  New 
York  City  from  whose  executive  heads  the  class  often  listened  to 
important  explanations  of  methods  and  principles.  The  num- 
ber of  teachers,  ministers,  nurses,  and  others  who  had  had  con- 
siderable previous  experience  in  such  work  was  unusually  large 
in  this  class  and  there  were  in  consequence  important  informal 
discussions  and  exchange  of  views  on  all  occasions  among  the 
members  of  the  class.  Most  of  the  students  already  held  positions, 
some  of  importance  and  extensive  influence  in  social  work,  and 
intended  to  return  to  their  posts.  Several  found  new  openings 
in  larger  fields  of  usefulness  as  a  result  of  acquaintances  formed 
during  the  session,  and  for  those  of  ability  without  a  position 
there  were  ample  inquiries  for  workers  from  various  societies 
both  in  New  York  City  and  in  widely  separated  parts  of  the 
country. 

SCHOLARSHIPS 

The  classes  in  both  the  Winter  and  the  Summer  sessions 
formed  class  associations  for  mutual  helpfulness  and  to  help  bring 
the  advantages  of  the  School  to  the  knowledge  of  others.  Each 
class  raised  by  voluntary  contributions  one  or  more  scholarships 
which  were  placed  at  the  disposition  of  the  officers  of  the  School 
for  the  use  of  future  students. 

Scholarships  were  given  in  the  Winter  session  to  eight  stu- 
dents whose  qualifications  for  social  work  commended  them  to 
the  committee  and  whose  financial  circumstances  would  not  permit 
them  unaided  to  take  the  course.  These  were  in  the  amount  of 
$150  which  paid  the  regular  full  tuition  fee  of  $50  and  yielded 


COMMITTEE  ON  PHILANTHROPIC  EDUCATION  79 

the  student  a  stipend  of  $ioo  in  cash  toward  living  expenses. 
Three  additional  scholarships  of  the  value  of  $50,  or  equivalent 
to  free  tuition,  were  awarded  for  the  year  1907-08.  In  the  Sum- 
mer session,  six  scholarships  of  the  value  of  $75  each,  from  which 
ten  dollars  was  deducted  for  tuition  and  $65  paid  in  cash  to  the 
holder  to  meet  living  expenses,  were  awarded  as  the  gift  of  one 
of  the  members  of  the  Committee  on  Philanthropic  Education. 
Four  additional  scholarships  of  the  same  amount,  one  of  the 
value  of  $60,  and  four  of  the  value  of  ten  dollars  each,  or  equiva- 
lent to  free  tuition,  were  also  given.  In  all  cases  the  gift  is  by 
way  of  student  aid  and  only  to  those  whose  financial  circum- 
stances make  it  necessary  and  from  whom  the  return  of  the 
amount  of  the  scholarship  without  interest  is  expected  in  part 
or  in  full  if  at  any  future  time  the  financial  circumstances  of 
the  holder  will  permit,  in  which  case  the  amount  so  returned  will 
be  added  to  the  funds  available  for  scholarship  purposes.  At  the 
outset  the  committee  found  it  necessary  to  devote  some  of  the 
income  from  the  endowment  or  from  the  current  funds  of  the 
School  to  this  purpose,  but  now  the  amounts  returned  and  the 
special  gifts  from  former  students  and  class  associations  and  from 
the  general  alumni  association,  are  almost  sufficient  to  meet  this 
need  and  leave  Ijhe  School  funds  for  their  more  proper  and  urgent 
use  in  the  expansion  of  the  instruction  facilities  of  the  School. 

LECTURES   AND  LECTURERS 

Acknowledgment  should  here  be  made  for  the  service  ren- 
dered by  the  lecturers  on  the  staff  of  the  School,  many  of  whom 
are  busy  executive  officers  of  important  societies  for  whom  time 
spent  in  the  service  of  the  School  means  many  added  burdens.  A 
small  honorarium  is  now-  paid  for  lectures  in  the  Winter  session 
from  a  fund  appropriated  for  that  purpose,  though  in  scarcely 
any  case  is  it  sufficient  in  amount  to  be  considered  as  compensa- 
tion but  rather  as  a  token  of  appreciation  on  the  part  of  the 
School  and  intended  to  meet  if  possible  the  inevitable  incidental 
expense  incurred  by  every  lecturer  in  the  preparation  and  delivery

of  his  lectures.  For  the  Summer  session  not  even  this  provision 
has  yet  been  possible  and  the  lecturers  in  that  course  all  con- 
tributed their  services  and  in  addition  the  Summer  course  itself 
was  made  possible  by  special  contributions  of  money  for  its 
expenses  from  several  good  friends  of  the  School. 

The  School  has  always  aimed  to  serve  both  professional  and 
volunteer  workers.  One-fifth  of  the  students  in  both  the  Winter 
and  Summer  sessions  were  looking  forward  to  volunteer  service. 
Information,  breadth  of  view,  and  especially  familiarity  with 
the  best  results  of  experience  and  training,  are  quite  as  essential 
for  the  volunteer  as  for  the  professional  worker.  If  it  is  worth 
while  for  one  to  give  his  time  or  money  in  charitable  work  it  is 
expedient  for  him  to  do  so  intelligently  and  efficiently.  The 
School  tried  to  reach  and  serve  a  larger  number  of  volunteer 
workers,  especially  members  of  boards  of  management  for  various 
charitable  enterprises  and  church  workers.  To  this  end  an  exten- 
sion course  of  ten  Lenten  lectures  was  arranged  for  at  convenient 
hours  in  Lent.  Many  of  those  widely  known  as  leaders  and 
active  in  formulating  our  most  important  social  policies  were 
enlisted  to  speak  on  their  specialties  and  the  attendance  and  influ- 
ence of  this  course  encouraged  the  committee  to  make  provision 
for  a  similar  course  next  year. 

Supplementary  activities  of  the  School  include  a  cooking  class, 
organized  by  and  through  the  courteous  co-operation  of  the  New 
York  Cooking  School,  for  those  preparing  for  settlement  work 
and  the  work  of  visitors  in  the  homes  of  the  poor,  and  a  class  in 
the  elements  of  the  Italian  language  especially  arranged  for  those 
who  wish  to  work  with  Italian  immigrants.  The  Italian  class  has 
been  made  possible  largely  through  the  volunteer  services  of  its 
leader,  Sig.  Louis  Cavallaro. 

Many  calls  have  come  from  clubs,  societies  and  institutions 
for  single  lectures  or  brief  courses  of  lectures  on  particular 
phases  of  social  work,  to  all  of  which  the  officers  or  members 
of  the  teaching  staff  have  responded  as  freely  as  possible. 


TWO  or  TTIE  TJOOMS  OF  TUK  LIBRARY 


COMMITTEE  ON  PHILANTHROPIC  EDUCATION  8l 
THE.  BUREAU  OF  SOCIAL  RESEARCH 

This  Bureau  was  tentatively  organized  as  a  department  of 
the  School  in  June,  1907,  but  did  not  begin  active  work  until  Octo- 
ber, by  which  time  suitable  quarters  had  been  secured  in  rooms 
in  the  same  building  with  the  School,  the  services  of  an  Associate 
Director,  Professor  R.  C.  McCrea  of  Bowdoin  College,  had  been 
secured  for  the  active  personal  direction  of  research  work,  and 
six  fellows  had  been  selected  and  appointed  for  definite  pieces  of 
investigation. 

During  the  year  the  Bureau  has  had  in  its  service  two  Senior 
Fellows,  four  Junior  Fellows,  and  five  special  investigators  and 
assistants.  The  object  of  the  Bureau  is  to  carry  on  social  re- 
search both  for  its  practical  results  in  securing  timely  and  valuable 
information  of  use  to  social  workers  and  others,  and  even  more 
for  its  training  for  advanced  students  who  have  already  had 
either  the  course  in  the  School  or  its  equivalent.  The  topics  in- 
vestigated during  the  past  year  were : 

1.  The  Salary  Loan  Business  in  New  York  City.  The  re- 
sults of  this  study  were  published  by  the  Charities  Publica- 
tion Committee  for  the  Russell  Sage  Foundation  in  No- 
vember, 1908. 

2.  The  results  of  treatment  in  Charity  Organization  Society 
cases.    (To  be  completed  December  ist,  1908.) 

3.  Methods  and  Cost  of  Burial  Among  the  Poor  in  New  York 
City.    (Completed  during  the  year.) 

4.  Employment  of  the  Physically  Handicapped.  (Investi- 
gation still  in  progress.) 

5.  Methods  and  Result  of  Training  for  Social  Work.  (Com- 
pleted in  August,  1908.) 

6.  The  Public  Treatment  of  Inebriates  in  New  York  City. 
(Completed  September  i,  1908.) 

7.  Three  brief  investigations,  each  occupying  about  two 
months'  time  of  an  investigator  or  an  assistant  and  all 
completed  before  September  30,  were  as  follows:

THE  PUBLIC  SOCIOLOGICAL  LIBRARY 

The  Library,  under  the  administration  of  Mrs.  Helen  Page 
Bates,  as  librarian,  has  been  open  every  week  day  during  the 
year,  except  legal  holidays.  The  total  number  of  books  on  Sep- 
tember 30,  1908,  was  5,761,  including  170  duplicates.  The  peri- 
odicals "  received  through  exchanges  with  Charities  and  The 
Commons  are  246,  and  the  pamphlets  and  articles  extracted  from 
magazines,  which  have  been  clipped,  classified  and  filed,  number 
10,000.  The  total  number  of  books  added  to  the  Library  from^ 
October  i,  1907,  to  September  30,  1908,  was  630.  The  circu- 
lation during  the  year  has  amounted  to  2,894  books  and  pamphlets, 
as  compared  with  900  during  the  previous  twelve  months.  This 
does  not  cover  the  work  of  the  Library  in  furnishing  references 
and  in  meeting  requests  for  information.  The  increase  in  the 
Library  service  in  this  particular  may  be  estimated  from  the 
fact  that  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  about  twenty  minutes  each 
day  sufficed  to  replace  the  books  and  material  consulted,  while 
toward  the  latter  part  of  this  year  fully  an  hour's  time  of  the 
assistants  in  the  Library  was  necessary  to  restore  this  material 
to  the  shelf  and  file.  Only  two  volumes  have  been  lost  during 
the  year,  which  is  a  very  satisfactory  gain  over  previous  records. 
Progress  has  also  been  made  in  cataloguing.  The  cards  newly 
written  or  typed,  revised  and  classified  during  the  year  are  as 
follows:  Author  catalogue,  7,424;  Subject  catalogue,  3,426;  Shelf 
catalogue,  1,721 ;  Total,  12,581. 

Students  in  the  School  now  make  more  use  of  the  Library 
than  formerly,  by  reason  of  its  closer  proximity  to  the  school- 
rooms, and  better  arrangements  for  readers  and  reference  work. 


CHARITIES   PUBLICATION  COMMITTEE 

At  its  birth,  ten  years  ago,  Charities  and  The  Commons 
was  a  weekly  bulletin  by  which  the  Charity  Organization  Society 
of  the  City  of  New  York  told  its  members  of  its  work.  Soon 
it  took  up  editorially  other  charity  work,  and  so  reached  the 
members  of  other  organizations,  and  gradually  it  found  an  audi- 
ence statewide.  It  was  but  a  step,  then,  to  take  in  the  whole 
field  of  social  work  and  gradually  but  consistently  to  grow  to 
represent  the  whole  country.  The  broadening  scope  of  the  maga- 
zine was  only  an  expression  of  a  rapid  growth  of  social  work 
going  on  about  it.  Local  bodies  were  multiplying,  their  mem- 
bership increasing,  co-operative  effort  and  understanding  among 
them  soHdifying,  and  national  organizations  springing  up  to 
unify  their  work. 

Charities  and  The  Commons  does  not  claim  to  be  sole 
spokesman  for  all  these.  Most  of  them  have  their  own  direct 
sources  of  conajmunication,  through  annual  reports  and  bulletins 
and  in  publications  regularly  issued.  But  in  the  pages  of  Chari- 
ties AND  The  Commons  their  leaders  meet  for  the  free  discus- 
sion of  their  problems,  the  announcement  of  their  plans,  the 
comparison  of  their  methods,  and  the  standardization  of  their 
results.  Thus  the  magazine  is  primarily  a  professional  journal 
for  the  social  worker,  and  for  this  purpose  technical  departments 
are  conducted  by  a  group  of  editors,  each  of  whom  is  a  specialist 
in  his  field. 

But  some  time  ago  it  grew  clear  that  the  magazine  interested 
many  more  than  these  workers.  Its  discussion  of  current  topics 
which  social  work  touches,  its  independent  and  unique  point  of 
view,  attracted  many  others.  A  wide  field  for  service  seemed 
opening  up,  and  as  a  result  came  the  present  purpose  and  scope : 


84 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


To  continue  to  serve  social  workers  as  a  professional  journal, 
but  increasingly  to  reach  out  to  the  general  public,  to  inform 
them  of  the  facts  and  conditions  of  things  as  the  social  worker 
sees  them,  to  arouse  their  interest,  to  provoke  their  enthusiasm 
or  their  indignation,  as  the  case  might  be — in  a  word,  to  help 
create  an  intelligent  and  permanent  body  of  public  opinion  in 
support  of  social  work  and  legislative  policy.  The  increase  in 
subscribers,  the  development  of  the  press  service  and  the  grow- 
ing influence  of  the  magazine  on  current  thought  and  speech  and 
writings  are  the  evidences  of  this  advance. 

From  such  material  as  Charities  and  The  Commons  prints 
have  governors  and  mayors,  speakers  and  preachers,  doctors  and 
teachers,,  drawn  strength  and  vitality  for  their  messages,  and 
legislators  found  foundations  for  protective  laws.  Persistent 
effort  in  calling  men's  attention  to  the  fair,  human  side  has  re- 
sulted in  columns  of  articles  reprinted  from  the  pages  of  Chari- 
ties AND  The  Commons  in  the  daily  newspapers,  and  in  the 
growing  use  of  its  contents  as  the  basis  for  editorial  comment. 
Thus,  through  an  intensive  circulation,  the  general  public  is 
reached  which  is  not  yet  ready  to  read  the  magazine  di^-ectly. 

The  subject-matter  of  the  magazine  is  not  limited  to  those 
events  in  which  social  organizations  directly  participate,  but 
covers  also  more  general  news  from  a  social  point  of  view. 
The  editorial  interpretation  of  current  events  in  Social  Forces  is 
famihar  through  the  year's  issues.  By  means  of  this  news  and 
the  comment  on  it  by  the  editor  and  his  associates,  through  book 
reviews  and  notes  on  other  magazines,  the  reader  of  Charities 
AND  The  Commons  has  a  view  from  week  to  week  of  the  march 
of  events  as  they  affect  the  common  welfare.  The  illustrated 
articles  and  the  discussions  in  the  larger  issues,  though  often 
discursive  and  deliberate,  have  still  an  element  of  timeliness. 
For  this  field  of  work,  call  it  what  you  will,  which  has  to  do 
with  the  defining  and  safeguarding  of  the  common  welfare,  has 
nothing  static  about  it,  and  the  social  worker  must  be  alert  to 
keep  pace  with  his  own  profession.    Although  at  bottom  his 


CHARITIES  PUBLICATION  COMMITTEE 


85 


work  is  grounded  on  the  most  painstaking  investigation,  point 
by  point,  visit  by  visit,  often  extending  over  years,  the  fruit  of 
that  "case"  work  as  it  comes  forward  in  report  and  summary 
and  human  experience,  shows  so  clearly  where  men  and  things 
are  awry,  points  so  unmistakably  to  pressing  opportunities  for 
achievement  for  the  common  good,  that  the  worker  must  turn 
readily  to  each  day's  new  task  and  must  have  for  his  information 
not  a  quarterly  or  a  monthly,  but  a  weekly  journal. 

As  a  direct  return  on  the  work  of  expansion  there  are  the 
Z^7Z2>  subscribers  added  to  the  circle  of  readers  during  the  past 
year,  exceeding  by  1,032  the  number  gained  in  any  earlier  twelve- 
month. That  there  should  have  been  a  net  gain  over  the  pre- 
vious year,  in  the  face  of  a  general  financial  situation  which  so 
largely  crippled  the  business  of  the  country,  is  a  striking  showing. 
The  panic  and  its  effects  were  clearly  seen  in  the  number  of 
discontinuances,  which  exceed  those  for  the  preceding  year  by 
855.  Many  letters  asked  that  subscriptions  be  stopped  because 
the  writer's  income  was  reduced,  receipts  from  advertising  were 
practically  stationary,  and  contributions  to  the  Guarantors'  Fund 
fell  off  from  $15,000  to  $7,000.  That  new  subscriptions  were 
gained  throughout  the  year  in  numbers  greater  than  ever  before 
seems,  therefore,  direct  evidence  of  the  magazine's  service  to  its 
readers  and  of'  an  ever-widening  group  who  want  just  such 
weekly  interpretations  of  progress. 

Subscriptions  are  solicited  in  various  ways — through  agencies, 
by  representatives  at  state  and  national  conferences,  and  by  means 
of  circular  letters  accompanying  sample  copies ;  but  by  far  the 
greatest  number  have  been  secured  through  personal  effort  of 
subscribers.  This  emphasizes  again  the  co-operative  nature  of 
the  magazine  and  of  the  educational  ventures  which  it  carries 
on.  The  readers  are  not  customers  in  the  usual  magazine  sense, 
but  rather  co-workers,  forming  in  their  different  communities 
groups,  large  or  small,  of  local  effort  for  social  advance. 

It  is  estimated  that  on  an  average  five  persons  read  each  copy 
of  a  magazine  or  newspaper  which  is  sent  to  a  regular  sub- 


86 


REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


scriber.  If  this  be  true,  the  total  number  of  the  readers  of  Chari- 
ties AND  The  Commons  is  now  over  fifty  thousand,  for  the 
average  circulation  of  issues  for  the  year  was  10,109,  while  the 
actual  number  of  paid  yearly  subscriptions  on  October  i  was 
9,135.  The  total  number  of  copies  printed  during  the  year  was 
525,650.  The  important  contributions  to  the  discussion  of  cur- 
rent problems,  resulting  in  the'  listing  of  issues  in  libraries  and 
reference  volumes,  has  greatly  increased  the  sale  of  single  issues 
to  students  of  these  problems  everywhere  and  created  a  steady 
demand  for  the  older  issues.  Every  copy  sent  for  by  a  student 
working  up  a  thesis  on  child  labor,  by  a  minister  organizing  in- 
stitutional work,  by  a  teacher  interested  in  industrial  education, 
reaches  .out  to  still  wider  groups  and  places  before  them  the 
information  gathered  in  its  pages  from  first-hand  sources.  The 
special  numbers  on  Housing,  Playgrounds,  Industrial  Accidents, 
Juvenile  Courts,  Lodging  Houses,  City  Planning  and  Congestion 
have  led  in  this  way  of  reaching  out  to  a  new  public. 

But  a  gain  of  3,733  new  subscribers  and  a  weekly  circulation 
of  more  than  10,000  copies,  substantial  as  it  is,  is  the  lesser  of 
the  two  direct  means  of  increasing  our  audience.  The  Press 
Service  has  developed  from  the  occasional  sending  of  proofs  to 
newspaper  editors  known  to  members  of  the  staff,  until  now  it 
embraces  the  constant  sending  out  of  any  matter  which  may 
seem  to  have  general  interest,  and  of  items  of  local  interest  sent 
to  papers  in  various  localities,  and  the  preparation  of  special 
articles  on  social  topics  mailed  regularly  each  week  to  one  hun- 
dred of  the  leading  dailies  in  the  United  States. 

Only  one  paper  in  a  city  receives  the  special  weekly  articles, 
and  the  exclusiveness  of  the  service  adds  to  its  effect.  Most 
newspapers  make  of  them  a  leading  feature  for  the  Sunday  issues, 
and  some  illustrate  them  with  photographs  and  drawings.  Any 
element  of  advertising,  either  of  the  magazine  or  of  any  par- 
ticular social  organization,  has  been  excluded  from  the  service, 
and  it  has  made  good  its  claim  of  furnishing  disinterested,  de- 
scriptive matter,  so  prepared  that  it  carries  a  social  message  in 


CHARITIES  PUBLICATION  COMMITTEE

a  way  to  interest  the  great  audience  of  the  Sunday  papers.  Par- 
ticularly gratifying  is  the  use  made  of  the  service  in  cities  of 
the  middle  size,  which  are  just  beginning  to  realize  that  they, 
too,  as  well  as  the  larger  centers,  must  face  problems  of  con- 
gestion and  housing  and  sanitation,  but  problems  which  an  in- 
telligent understanding  can  stamp  out  before  they  have  grown 
old  and  tough  and  entrenched  in  an  East  Side,  a  Ghetto  or  a 
Little  Italy.  Not  all  of  the  papers  use  all  of  the  stories,  but  they 
are  widely  circulated  every  week.  When  all  use  a  given  story 
it  has  a  circulation  of  over  a  million  copies,  and  the  average 
weekly  circulation  is  half  a  million. 

Of  particular  moment  in  this  service  was  the  publication  of 
the  results  of  an  investigation  of  county  jails,  made  by  the  maga- 
zine in  co-operation  with  the  National  Prison  Association.  One 
hundred  and  ten  newspapers  in  one  hundred  and  ten  county  seats 
published  a  general  article  on  jail  conditions  and  requirements, 
and  a  special  article  on  their  own  jail  with  recommendations 
for  improvement.  A  brief  article  and  an  appeal  for  early  Christ- 
mas shopping  were  so  widely  printed  as  to  fill  an  entire  clipping 
book.  The  newest  and  one  of  the  most  interesting  adaptations 
of  our  material  to  the  problems  of  many  states  and  to  the  infor- 
mation of  the  general  public  has  been  through  the  service  ofifered 
on  tramps  ancj  vagrants.  A  series  of  brief  articles  on  various 
phases  of  vagrancy  was  prepared  by  O.  F.  Lewis.  When  a 
newspaper  clipping  comes  to  us  showing  a  depredation  by  a 
tramp  or  a  news  item  on  any  phase  of  vagrancy,  one  of  the 
ready-prepared  articles  is  sent  to  the  editor  of  the  paper  with 
the  request  that  he  use  it  as  an  editorial.  During  the  first  six 
weeks  in  which  this  service  was  offered  our  records  show  an 
average  of  eight  of  the  articles  published  every  day. 

The  total  use  of  Press  Service  material — weekly  articles,  jail 
investigation,  items  reprinted  from  the  issues,  Christmas  shop- 
ping letters,  and  specials  written  for  use  in  fighting  out  a  local 
problem — count  up  to  3,401  articles  during  the  year,  distributed 
over  the  newspapers  of  forty-five  states. 


88  REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 

Charities  Publication  Committee  has  added  to  its  functions 
as  publishers  of  a  magazine  and  of  reprints  of  special  articles, 
the  responsibility  for  the  publications  of  the  Russell  Sage  Foun- 
dation. The  first  book  published  under  this  arrangement  bear- 
ing the  imprint  of  Charities  Publication  Committee  was  The 
Campaign  Against  Tuberculosis  in  the  United  States,  including 
a  Directory  of  Institutions.  Several  other  important  publications, 
including  the  volumes  of  the  Pittsburgh  Survey,  will  be  issued 
in  the  ensuing  year. 

THE   FIELD  DEPARTMENT 

The  work  of  the  Field  Department  for  the  extension  of 
charity  organization  has  developed  materially  since,  on  October 
I,  1907,  the  Field  Secretary  began  work. 

During  the  nine  months  of  active  service,^  the  largest  and 
most  important  single  task  was  the  organization  of  the  Asso- 
ciated Charities  of  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania.  The  long  delay 
of  Pittsburgh  to  form  such  a  society  was  a  disadvantage,  in  that 
the  unorganized  state  had  permitted  the  coming  into  existence 
of  far  too  many  irresponsible  societies ;  but  it  was  an  advantage 
in  that  the  narrow  programs  of  some  of  the  older  societies  were 
not  copied,  but  the  society  was  enabled,  at  the  start,  to  seize 
upon  the  more  advanced  programs  of  to-day  without  going 
through  the  first  stage.  Its  constitution  provides  for  the  broad- 
est sort  of  participation  in  all  social  and  civic  movements  in  addi- 
tion to  its  function  as  the  registration  and  organizing  center  of 
the  charities  of  the  city.  The  charities  and  social  reform  agencies 
of  the  city  are  brought  close  together  in  a  Central  Council,  through 
which  far-reaching  work  should  be  done.  This  Central  Council,  a 
body  entirely  distinct  from  the  governing  board  of  the  Associated 
Charities,  is  a  new  feature  in  organized  charity  work  and  prom- 
ises to  weld  together  the  greater  number  of  social  workers  in 
Pittsburgh. 

*  Dnrins  the  Rummer  months  the  Field  SecrefaT'y  was  on  leave  of  absence  in 
order  to  plan  the  work  of  the  San  Francisco  Relief  Survey, 


CHARITIES  PUBLICATION  COMMITTEE  89 

The  work  regarding  organization  or  reorganization  may  be 
thus  summarized: 

1.  New  societies  formed  or  reorganization  effected  by  personal 

visits    8 

2.  Reorganization  suggested  in  personal  visits;   results  prob- 

lematical   2 

3.  Existing  societies  visited   6 

4.  Correspondence  with  other  societies  with  definite  results  (in- 

cluding help  from  members  of  the  department)   14 

5.  Correspondence  with  possible  results  later   5 

6.  Correspondence  with  no  results   6 


41 

The  policy  of  the  Committee  is  for  slow,  careful  work.  Noth- 
ing so  easily  lags  as  organization  effected  in  the  midst  of  general 
enthusiasm  at  some  public  meeting.  In  each  place  the  preliminary 
work  is  extended  over  as  much  time  as  appears  to  be  necessary. 
During  that  period  the  secretary  endeavors  to  become  acquainted 
with  the  local  charity  problems,  to  learn  what  general  social 
questions  are  apt  to  require  attention,  to  meet  as  many  of  the 
men  interested  as  possible  in  order  to  give  them  some  insight 
into  the  aims  and  purposes  of  organized  charity,  to  meet  charity 
workers  and  school  teachers  and  others  who  are  in  touch  with 
the  problem  of  neglected  neighborhoods  and  to  work  out  with 
them  the  specific  lines  of  co-operation  with  the  new  movement, 
and  upon  the  basis  of  all  this  to  assist  in  working  out  the  par- 
ticular form  of  organization  which  appears  to  fit  best.  It  is 
planned  that  in  every  case  there  shall  be  one  or  more  **follow-up" 
visits,  so  that  false  developments  may  be  prevented  if  possible. 

The  Field  Department  has  firmly  taken  the  ground  that  good 
case  work  is  the  foundation  of  all  good  charity  organization 
work,  and  that  not  until  good  case  work  is  actually  accomplished 
is  any  society  in  a  position  either  to  carry  out  any  preventive 
work  or  to  advise  other  organizations  intelligently  regarding  their 
lines  of  activity  in  that  direction.  Whether  it  accepts  the  func- 
tion of  leading  or  of  advising  in  social  work,  it  must  first  be 
able  to  fulfill  its  primary  duty  of  being  able  to  furnish  accurate 
data  on  the  relative  seriousness  of  the  different  social  problems

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


in  its  own  particular  field.  The  importance  of  different  prob- 
lems apparently  varies  greatly,  even  in  cities  of  the  same  state. 
The  word  "apparently"  is  used  advisedly,  because  never  has  the 
Field  Secretary  visited  a  place  in  which  there  was  no  intelligent 
charity  organization  society  wherein  he  could  be  sure  that  he 
had  gauged,  even  in  a  rough  and  approximate  way,  the  whole 
sum  of  pressing  problems  or  their  relative  significance.  Though 
many  intelligent  social  workers  can  be  found  in  such  places,  none 
of  them  possesses  that  comprehensive  appreciation  of  the  local 
condition  which  commonly  comes  through  the  presence  of  a  gen- 
eral social  agency  like  the  charity  organization  society.  The 
question  of  whether  such  a  society  shall  be  leader  or  adviser  in 
social  reform  work  must  be  settled  in  each  community.  That 
is  relatively  unimportant.  What  is  important  is  to  have  an  active 
society  in  each  place,  stirring  up  public  interest  and  activity  in 
individual  and  social  problems. 

It  is  difficult  to  sum  up  briefly  the  work  in  connection  with 
visits  to  existing  societies.  On  the  one  hand  it  is  necessary  for 
the  Field  Secretary  to  keep  abreast  of  the  most  progressive  work 
of  the  most  progressive  societies  in  the  country.  On  the  other 
hand,  he  is  able  to  advise  on  mooted  points,  wherein  the  experi- 
ence of  other  cities  may  be  of  considerable  value.  In  one  city 
his  services  were  requested  in  order  to  develop  better  relations 
with  different  outside  organizations  and  to  suggest  almost  a  revo- 
lution in  the  case  work  of  the  society.  In  another  there  was  prac- 
tical reorganization  of  a  society.  In  another  he  came  in  contact 
only  with  the  executive  heads  of  the  society  for  the  purpose  of 
mapping  out  a  more  advanced  plan  in  the  district  work. 

The  societies  visited  were  those  of  Providence,  Louisville, 
Boston,  Washington,  Atlanta  and  Richmond. 

The  cities  which  were  visited  on  invitation  for  purposes  of 
organization  or  reorganization  were :  Asheville,  North  Carolina ; 
Augusta  and  Columbus,  Georgia;  Erie  and  Harrisburg,  Penn- 
sylvania ;  Knoxville,  Tennessee ;  Macon,  Georgia ;  Pittsburgh, 
Pennsylvania ;  Rome,  Georgia ;  Youngstown,  Ohio.

Correspondence  was  carried  on  with  the  following  places: 
Birmingham  and  Mobile,  Alabama;  Bridgeport,  Connecticut;

A  monthly  bulletin  has  been  issued  to  all  the  societies  in  the 
United  States  and  to  a  few  selected  societies  in  Europe.  The 
Bulletin  is  a  confidential  technical  periodical,  an  exchange  of 
experience,  and  is  not  intended  for  general  use.  It  has  considered 
case  problems  and  such  questions  as  the  relations  between  charity 
organization  societies  and  public  relief  agencies,  whether  smaller 
societies  should  undertake  tuberculosis  work,  the  training  re- 
quired of  paid  workers.  During  the  coming  year  it  will  be 
printed  instead  of  being  multigraphed. 

A  special  committee  on  Case  Records  has  examined  over  a 
hundred  case  records  from  about  forty  societies  with  a  view  to 
publishing  a  few  of  them  as  illustrative  samples.  The  examina- 
tion plainly  indicated  the  need  of  better  standards  of  investiga- 
tion and  treatrnent,  as  well  as  of  record-keeping.  Of  these  records 
one  has  already  been  printed  and  one  or  two  more  will  follow. 
The  Department  has  also  had  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form  Miss 
Richmond's  Minneapolis  paper  on  ''Friendly  Visiting,"  making 
a  total  of  six  special  publications.  A  special  offer  was  made  to 
societies  for  copies  of  Miss  Richmond's  *'The  Good  Neighbor," 
and  about  seven  hundred  have  been  circulated  in  this  way. 

At  the  National  Conference  of  Charities  and  Correction  a 
luncheon  meeting  of  the  Exchange  Branch  was  held  at  which  an 
Executive  Committee  was  organized  to  determine  on  the  admis- 
sion of  societies  to  membership.  There  was  also  held  a  general 
conference  of  all  the  organized  charity  societies  represented,  at 
which  suggestions  regarding  the  future  activities  of  the  Depart-

ment  were  considered.  One  result  of  this  meeting  was  the 
creation  of  a  Committee  on  Uniform  Blanks.  Another  was  the 
cordial  agreement  to  a  plan  suggested  of  publishing  a  carefully 
revised  directory  of  the  charity  organization  societies  of  the 
country.  At  the  request  of  the  chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Needy  Families,  Their  Homes  and  Neighborhoods,  the  Depart- 
ment prepared  an  exhibit  for  the  Conference  under  the  direction 
of  Porter  R.  Lee,  of  Buffalo.  The  exhibit  will  be  repeated  in  the 
1909  Conference,  under  the  direction  of  Otto  W.  Davis,  of  Co- 
lumbus, Ohio. 

the:  PITTSBURGH  SURVEY 

The  largest  single  project  of  Charities  Publication  Committee 
has  been  a  study  of  living  conditions  in  the  great  industrial  dis- 
trict at  the  headwaters  of  the  Ohio.  The  field  work  has  been 
carried  out  under  the  name  of  the  Pittsburgh  Survey. 

The  Survey  has  been  under  the  direction  of  Paul  U.  Kellogg, 
managing  editor  of  Charities  and  The  Commons.  Men  and 
women  of  established  reputation  as  students  of  social  and  indus- 
trial problems,  trained  investigators,  interpreters  speaking  Rus- 
sian and  Bohemian  and  Slovak  and  Italian,  artists,  photographers, 
statisticians,  map  and  chart  makers,  have  been  associated  with 
him,  some  for  more  than  a  year.  As  chief  advisers  and  workers 
have  been  Robert  A.  Woods  of  South  End  House,  Boston ;  Pro- 
fessor John  R.  Commons  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin;  and 
Florence  Kelley  of  the  National  Consumers'  League. 

Special  numbers  of  Charities  and  The  Commons  through 
the  winter  will  set  forth  the  major  results  of  the  Survey,  with 
maps,  charts,  photographs,  and  drawings  in  charcoal  and  pastel 
to  supplement  the  pen.  Later  a  series  of  volumes  will  be  pub- 
lished by  the  Russell  Sage  Foundation.  A  display  of  wall 
maps,  enlarged  photographs,  housing  plans,  and  other  graphic 
material  growing  out  of  the  Survey,  was  the  chief  feature  of  a 
civic  exhibit  held  in  Pittsburgh  at  the  time  of  the  joint  conven- 
tions there  in  November  (1908)  of  the  American  Civic  Asso-

ciation  and  the  National  Municipal  League,  and  the  Survey  was 
the  subject  of  the  opening  session  of  these  conventions.  Certain 
aspects  of  the  Survey  will  also  be  the  subject  of  the  joint  session

REPORT  OF  CENTRAL  COUNCIL 


ciological  Society  at  Atlantic  City  in  December.  Many  of  the 
most  effective  men  and  women  in  Pittsburgh  have  given  their 
co-operation  in  the  investigations ;  and  in  turn  the  results  of  the 
investigations  have  been  directed  to  the  service  of  certain  local 
movements  for  improvement.  Within  the  space  of  one  year,  the 
Pittsburgh  Associated  Charities  has  been  organized  after  a  full 
decade  of  obstruction  and  delay ;  the  force  of  tenement  inspectors 
of  the  Pittsburgh  Bureau  of  Health  has  been  doubled  and  has 
carried  out  the  first  general  housing  census  of  the  greater  city; 
and  under  the  name  of  the  Pittsburgh  Typhoid  Commission,  a 
scientific  inquiry  has  been  instituted  into  the  disease  which  has 
been  endemic  in  the  district  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century.  A 
Civic  Improvement  Commission  is  now  in  process  of  formation. 

The  scope  of  the  Survey  is  suggested  by  a  mere  enumeration 
of  the  subjects  touched  in  the  principal  investigations: 

(1)  The  social  relations  of  the  wage-earning  group:  the  com- 
munity; the  immigrant;  the  Negro  population;  housing;  public 
health;  civic  improvement;  Jewish  immigrants;  typhoid  fever; 
relief  work;  the  police  and  criminals;  schools;  industrial  educa- 
tion; children's  institutions;  hospitals;  child  labor. 

(2)  The  industrial  relations  of  the  wage-earning  population: 
The  labor  situation;  factory  inspection;  industrial  accidents; 
women  in  industry ;  wage-earners  in  the  steel  industry ;  occupa- 
tional mortality ;  Homestead. 

To  study  the  organic  problem  of  an  industrial  community, 
to  do  this  in  a  district  where  there  had  been  little  collective  deal- 
ing with  complex  evils,  to  do  it  in  a  way  which  would  help  the 
community  to  appreciate  and  on  its  own  account  to  solve  its 
problem — this  has  been  the  commission  of  the  Pittsburgh  Survey. 
It  has  been  an  experiment  to  give  local  significance  and  national 
impulse  to  such  an  understanding  and  treatment  of  the  community 
problem  as  the  charity  organization  societies  of  the  country  have 
stood  for  in  their  constructive  programs.

CONTRIBUTIONS   FOR  RELIE-F 


During  the  year  ending  September  30,  1908,  the  Society  received  contributions 
for  relief  to  the  amount  of  $87,1 76. GO.  Of  this  $39,392.80  was  contributed  for 
special  cases.  This  does  not  include  the  money  contributed  directly  to  applicants 
on  the  solicitation  of  the  Society  for  cases  under  its  care,  by  churches,  societies, 
and  individuals  who  preferred  to  be  their  own  almoners,  and  whose  contributions, 
therefore,  did  not  pass  through  the  Society's  accounts.
